HMS Crescent (1931)
HMS ''Crescent'' was a C-class destroyer which was built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s. The ship was initially assigned to the Home Fleet, although she was temporarily deployed in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean during the Abyssinia Crisis of 1935–36. ''Crescent'' was sold to the Royal Canadian Navy in late 1936 and renamed HMCS ''Fraser''. She was stationed on the west coast of Canada until the beginning of World War II when she was transferred to the Atlantic coast for convoy escort duties. The ship was transferred to the United Kingdom (UK) in May 1940 and helped to evacuate refugees from France upon her arrival in early June. ''Fraser'' was sunk on 25 June 1940 in a collision with the anti-aircraft cruiser while returning from one such mission.
