HMS Keppel (D84)
HMS ''Keppel'' was a Thornycroft type flotilla leader built for the Royal Navy at the end of the First World War. She was completed too late to serve in that conflict, but saw extensive service in the inter war years and in World War II. She was an effective convoy escort and U-boat killer, being credited with the destruction of five U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. She was the second of three ships named for 18th century Admiral Augustus Keppel.
==Construction==
''Keppel'' was one of five ships of this class built as flotilla leaders by J I Thornycroft of Woolston, Hampshire to their own design.〔Gardiner and Gray 1985, pp. 82-83.〕 In this she was similar to the Admiralty's destroyer leader type, but built with features specific to Thornycroft's design principles. ''Keppel'' was ordered in April 1918 and laid down in October that year, but the war ended shortly after and work slowed with the advent of peace. ''Keppel'' was launched in April 1920 and moved to the Royal Navy Dockyard at Portsmouth, and later to Pembroke, where she was finally completed in April 1925.〔G Mason, (naval-history.net )〕
