HMS Fidelity (D57)
HMS ''Fidelity'' (D57) was a Special Service Vessel of the British Royal Navy during World War II, originally the French merchant vessel ''La Rhin''.
==Ship history==
The 2,456 ton ship was built by H. & C. Grayson Ltd. of Garston, Liverpool, and completed in 1920 for ''Compagnie de Navigation Paquet'', Marseilles.
In June 1940 ''La Rhin'' sailed for Gibraltar under the command of ''Lieutenant de Vaisseau'' Claude Andre Michel Peri, and was turned over to the Royal Navy at Barry, Wales. The ship was converted into the special service vessel, and commissioned on 24 September 1940 as HMS ''Fidelity'' (D57) under the command of Lt. Peri, serving as Lieutenant Commander Jack Langlais RNVR. Her officers included Lt-Cmdr. Patrick Albert O'Leary RNVR and First Officer Madeleine Barclay WRNS.〔
In 1941 ''Fidelity'' operated off the coast of Southern France under the direction of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), landing agents and picking up escaped prisoners, disguised as Spanish or Portuguese freighter. She also took part in small-scale sabotage operations. In 1942 ''Fidelity'' was refitted to operate as a commando carrier for operations in south-east Asia. She was armed with four 4-inch guns, four 21-inch torpedo tubes, and carried two OS2U Kingfisher floatplanes, the motor torpedo boat ''MTB-105'', and the landing craft HMS ''LCV-752'' and ''LCV-754''.〔
