HMS Atherstone (L05)
HMS ''Atherstone'' was a of the Royal Navy. She was launched in late 1939 as the first of her class but was found to be unstable, and had to undergo significant modifications before entering service in March 1940.
==Construction and design==
''Atherstone'' was ordered from Cammell Laird of Birkenhead on 21 March 1939, as one of the first batch of ten Hunt-class destroyers.〔English 1987, p. 17.〕 The Hunts were intended to make up for a shortage in destroyer-type vessels, particularly for escort duties. They were to combine the heavy anti-aircraft armament of the s (i.e. six 4 inch (102 mm) QF Mk XVI dual purpose (anti-ship and anti-aircraft) guns in three twin mounts) with a speed of (compared with for the ''Bittern''s) to allow them to work with the fleet when necessary.〔English 1987, pp. 7–9.〕〔Lenton 1970, p. 83.〕 This was supplemented by a close-in anti-aircraft armament of a quadruple 2-pounder "pom-pom", and an anti-submarine armament of 30 depth charges. No torpedo-tubes were to be carried.〔Whitley 2000, pp. 143–144.〕
''Atherstone'' was laid down on 8 June 1939 and launched on 12 December 1939.〔 An inclining test when the ship was fitting out showed that she, and by extension all the Hunts, was dangerously unstable owing to a design error. To restore stability to acceptable levels, one twin 4 inch mount was removed, the ship's superstructure and funnel was cut down and additional ballast was fitted.〔English 1987, p. 11.〕 Thus modified, ''Atherstone'' was completed and commissioned (with the pennant number L05〔English 1987, p. 106.〕) on 23 March 1940.〔
