SERVICE HISTORIES of ROYAL NAVY WARSHIPS in WORLD WAR 2

HMS COSSACK (i) (L 03) -  Tribal-class Destroyer including Convoy Escort Movements

HMS Tartar, sister ship (Cyber Heritage, click to enlarge) return to Contents List 
 

TRIBAL-Class Fleet Destroyer ordered on 10th March 1936 under the 1935 Build Programme. The contract for the hull and engines was placed with Vickers-Armstrong at Newcastle and the ship was laid down on 9th June 1936. Launched on 8th June 1937, she was the 6th RN warship to carry the name, which had been introduced in 1806 when the 6th Rate PANDOUR was renamed. It was last used for a destroyer built in 1907 by Cammell Laird which was sold in 1919.  Build of this destroyer was completed on 7th June 1938 and she commissioned for service in the 1st Tribal Destroyer Flotilla and served with the Flotilla in the Mediterranean. The ship took part in patrols during the Spanish civil war and in Mediterranean Fleet exercises and visits programmes before the outbreak of war with Germany.1939. In April that year the Flotilla identity was changed to the 4th Destroyer Flotilla. Her Pennant Number for visual signalling purposes was L03 when she commissioned but this was changed in December 1938 to F03. In the early months of 1940 her name became renowned when her exploits in boarding the German tanker ALTMARK to rescue British seamen received national acclaim. In January 1942 her successor was “adopted ”by the  civil community of Esher and Claygate, Surrey after a successful WARSHIP WEEK National Savings campaign in January 1942, but it is believed that a relationship with this ship existed before her loss in October 1941.
