H.M.S. Havock was one of thirty-five "G","H" and "I" Class destroyers completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

Commissioned on 16 January, 1937 for service with the Second Destroyer Flotilla in ther Mediterranean.[4]

Havock grounded off Marsa Lucha on 19 October, 1941 in what the Naval Secretary determined was a "failure of any ship in the division to sound" as well as generally poor navigation on the part of Captain (D) Hugh St. Lawrence Nicolson. Moreover, Nicolson was faulted for the "unsatisfactory state of affairs ... in the 2nd. Flotilla as regards the maintenance of certain electrical and navigational material."[5]
