HMS Delight (H38)
HMS ''Delight'' was a D-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s. ''Delight'' was initially assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet before she was transferred to the China Station in early 1935. She was temporarily deployed in the Red Sea during late 1935 during the Abyssinia Crisis, before returning to her duty station where she remained until mid-1939.

The ship was sunk by German dive-bombers on 29 July 1940 while attempting to transit the English Channel in daylight.
