HMS Wild Swan – Refitted in 1939, she returned to active service in February, 1940. She was heavily involved in operations off the Dutch coast and the evacuation of civilians from northern France in May, 1940. On 23rd May, she was ordered to Boulogne to provide anti-aircraft support and to evacuate troops. During the evening, she rescued in excess of 400 Irish Guards, departing for Dover at 21.30 hours.
She was another of the 'W' class destroyers used at Dunkirk, albeit it appears she only made two trips as an escort destroyer before being sent to Portsmouth for a re-fit. Subsequently, she was used in the convoy escort role. On the 16th June 1942, she was escorting convoy HG84 when she came under attack from 12 Junkers 88 bombers south of Ireland. She was sunk with the loss of 31 crew members, but not before shooting down six of her attackers.
