HMS Antelope (H36)
HMS ''Antelope'' was a British destroyer, which was completed for the Royal Navy in 1930. ''Antelope'' served throughout the Second World War, taking part in the sinking of three enemy submarines and in Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa.
==Construction and design==
''Antelope'' was ordered on 6 March 1928,〔English 1993, p. 15.〕 and was laid down at Hawthorn Leslie on Tyneside on 11 July 1928. The ship was launched on 27 July 1929 and commissioned on 20 March 1930.〔Whitley 2000, p. 97.〕
She had a main gun armament of four guns on low angle (30 degree) mounts that were only suitable for anti-ship use, and an anti-aircraft armament of two 2-pounder (40 mm) "pom-poms". Eight torpedo tubes were fitted on two quadruple mounts, with Mark V torpedoes carried. The initial anti-submarine equipment was limited, with no sonar carried and only six depth charges.〔Whitley 2000, p. 98.〕〔Gardiner and Chesneau 1980, pp. 37–38.〕
In 1941, one of the 4.7 in guns and the aft bank of torpedo tubes was removed, with a anti-aircraft gun replacing the torpedo tubes and an enhanced anti-submarine armament, which included 70 depth charges and the ability to drop patterns of 10 charges. Radar was also fitted, and the destroyer's close-in anti-aircraft outfit was supplemented by the addition of Oerlikon 20 mm cannons, of which two were fitted in 1941 followed by four more later on. The 3 inch gun was removed by 1943, when high-frequency direction finding gear was fitted. A second 4.7 in gun was replaced in 1944 by two QF 6-pounder Hotchkiss guns.〔
