HMS Corunna (D97)
HMS ''Corunna'' (D97) was a later or 1943 Battle-class fleet destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was named in honour of the Battle of Corunna, which took place during the Peninsular War in 1809 between British and French forces. ''Corunna'' was built by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson Limited on the Tyne. She was launched on 29 May 1945 and commissioned on 6 June 1947.

In 1948, ''Corunna'' joined the 4th Destroyer Flotilla, part of the Home Fleet.〔Critchley, Mike, "British Warships Since 1945: Part 3: Destroyers", Maritime Books: Liskeard, UK, 1982. ISBN 0-9506323-9-2, page 115-6〕 In 1953 she took part in the Fleet Review to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.〔Souvenir Programme, ''Coronation Review of the Fleet, Spithead, 15th June 1953'', HMSO, Gale and Polden〕 In 1954, ''Corunna'', with the rest of the Squadron, formerly Flotilla, deployed to the Mediterranean, remaining there until 1955. ''Corunna'', with the rest of the Squadron, returned to the region in 1956. On 15 March 1959, ''Corunna'' accidentally collided with her sister-ship in the Bay Of Biscay. Later in 1956 she took part in the Suez Crisis.
''Corunna'' subsequently began her conversion to a Radar Picket, of which three other ships were also converted. The conversion included new Anti-Aircraft weaponry, new radar, and the addition of the Sea Cat missile system. In 1962, ''Corunna'' joined the 7th Destroyer Squadron, based in the Mediterranean, and the following year joined the 21st Escort Squadron. In 1964, ''Corunna'' deployed, along with the rest of the Squadron, to the Far East, where she would remain until 1965.
