HMS Cheshire (F-18)

HMS Cheshire (F18), was a ship of the Royal Navy, named after the English county of Cheshire. Previously a cruise ship, she served as an armed merchant cruiser acting as convoy escort and troopship in World War II.
Cheshire proved doughty in her military role:
She was torpedoed twice by U-boats but survived each and returned to service after extensive repairs.
She also survived a U-boat attack on a small convoy of troopships transiting the English Channel from Southampton, England to Cherbourg, France, containing just herself and the SS ''Leopoldville'', with over 800 lives lost when the ''Leopoldville'' went down.
During ''Cheshire's'' very next run, transporting U.S. troops from Southampton to Le Havre between December 28 and 31, 1944, another troop transport in convoy on the same route, the SS ''Empire Javelin'',〔Schoichet's account of the sinking of Empire Javelin: ()"Noon of December 28 found us approaching the half way mark in the channel...Suddenly, without warning, the whole world erupted."〕 was lost to possible mine December 28.
Cheshire was used as a repatriation ship at war's end in 1945, and was returned to her owner in 1948. She was broken up at Newport in July 1957.
==History==
HMS Cheshire was launched in 1927 by Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Co Ltd, Govan, Glasgow,
