She was a Hunt Class destroyer commissioned on the last day of 1941. Within a month she was based at Scapa covering convoy QP6. She made a brief foray to the Mediterranean for the Harpoon convoy, but stayed in Northern waters until transferred to the Channel in March 1944. D-Day was followed by work in the North Sea then a refit. She was en route to join the Pacific Fleet at war's end. Full of crew reminiscences, this is a lively tale.
