HMS ''Tanatside'' was a destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was launched at Yarrow in April 1942. Ships of this class were designed as cheap, easily built vessels for convoy escort and antisubmarine duties. She was named like her sisters after a fox hunt, in her case one in North Wales. War bonds were issued to finance the building of warships. ''Tanatside'' was funded by people from Tregaron, Aberaeron, New Quay, Aberystwyth and Teifiside, in a nod to the ship's name. Plaques were presented to each of these townships.〔Ceredigian County Council〕 During a Warship Week held between 14 and 21 March 1942 the civil community of the Welsh county of Cardiganshire adopted the ship. ==Service History== ''Tanatside'' took part in Operation Tunnel anti shipping forays and was present at Omaha Beach, where she approached the beach to assist in the destruction of German defences. In December 1945 ''Tanatside'' was reduced to care and maintenance at Malta. 〔Critchley, Mike, "British Warships Since 1945: Part 3: Destroyers", Maritime Books: Liskeard, UK, 1982. ISBN 0-9506323-9-2, page 43〕 In 1946 she was transferred to the Greek Navy and renamed ''Adrias'', after a sister-ship , the former HMS ''Border'', which was seriously damaged by mines in October 1943 and which was not repaired. She was removed from the effective list in 1963 and scrapped in 1964. She was used by Dean's Marine, a UK-based radio controlled model company, as the example type for a model of the Hunt-class destroyers.
