Summary
[edit]DescriptionWickes class destroyers before transfer to the UK 1940.JPG |
Royal Navy and U.S. Navy sailors inspect depth charges aboard Wickes-class destroyers, in 1940. In the background are USS Buchanan (DD-131), and USS Crowninshield (DD-134). On 9 September 1940 both were transferred to the Royal Navy. Buchanan became HMS Campbeltown (I42), which was expended as a demolition ship during St. Nazaire Raid on 29 March 1942. Crowninshield became HMS Chelsea (I35) which was transferred to Russia on 16 July 1944 and renamed Derzkiy. She was finally returned to the UK for scrapping on 23 June 1949. |
