HMS Oribi (G66)
HMS ''Oribi'' (G66) was an O-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. Following the style of her sister ships she was named with a word beginning with O. Originally she was to have been christened HMS ''Observer'', but for unknown reasons she was christened HMS ''Oribi'', after the oribi, a South African antelope.
==Second World War service==
''Oribi'' was one of the destroyers that supported the March 1941 Lofoten Island Commando raid ("Operation Claymore"), by shelling the islands and attacking German shipping in the sheltered anchorage. She also assisted to bring Norwegian nationals home after the raid to escape the German occupation.
She saw extensive action during the Arctic and North Atlantic convoys of the Second World War. These included Convoy ONS 5 in May 1943, regarded as the turning point of the Battle of the Atlantic.
