HMS Skate (1917) : ウィキペディア英語版 | HMS Skate (1917)
HMS ''Skate'' was an destroyer of the Royal Navy that was laid down and completed during the First World War. ''Skate'' was the sole survivor of her class by 1939, and saw extensive service during the Second World War as a convoy escort. This gave her the honour of being the oldest destroyer to see service with the Royal Navy in the latter conflict. ''Skate'' was damaged by a mine, laid by , in the First World War, and was converted to a minelayer while undergoing repairs, which is likely why she remained active on the Navy List in 1939. Initially she served as an influence minesweeper to combat the threat of magnetic mines, but such was the need for escorts that she was rearmed in 1941 to take part in the Battle of the Atlantic. She was on North Atlantic duties until 1942 and was part of the escort for the Normandy landings in June 1944.
