HMS Vimiera – She was converted into an escort destroyer in 1939 with enhanced anti-aircraft and anti-submarine capability. In January 1940, she joined the Nore Command for coastal convoy escort duty in the North Sea and English Channel.
She provided part of the escort for 20th Guards Brigade on their outward journey to Boulogne in the early hours of the 22nd May, 1940. Some 36 hours later she was back to evacuate the same force! At 19.30 hours on the 23rd, she began embarking AMPC personnel and BEF stragglers and by 20.25 had departed with around 1,000 men. She returned once more to Boulogne at 01.40 hours on the 24th, where under the cover of darkness, she evacuated some 1400 AMPC and BEF troops.
