Default ships

Hi Diana

The HMS Queenborough was a WW2 UK built destroyer .After transfer to the RAN and serving in the RAN during the 1950's it was paid off to reserve in 1963 then recommisioned as a training ship in 1966 , used in that role until 1972 . It was sold for scrap in 1975 and towed to Hong Kong .

The four Q ships , all ex RN and transfered to RAN between 1942 and 45 were converted to anti sub role in the late 1940's - early 1950's , they were remodelled externally .
