Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2020 12:25 am
This ship historically served in the Home Fleet until late 1944.
She was relieved of Home Fleet duties on 17 August 1944 and set sail to
join the British Pacific Fleet some time after that. Her captain was
RN Captain R.M.J. Hutton.
Unlike USN Destroyer Tenders, she had an armored deck (as did HMS Woolworth)
- probably 50 mm (2 inches in RN parlance - where armor was exactly 25mm per
"inch").
The ship is slot number 4259. It is class number 2706.
