return to Contents List 

 

O or ORIBI-Class Fleet Destroyer ordered from Fairfield of Govan on 3rd September 1939 with the 1st Emergency Flotilla. She was laid down on 14th January 1941 and was to have been named PATHFINDER, which had been previously been used by a cruiser built in 1904 and lost in 1914. However following a policy review of names to be used for the Emergency Flotillas the selected name was changed. The ship was launched on 9th October 1941 as HMS ONSLAUGHT also previously used for a WW1 destroyer, sold in 1921. Build was completed on 19th June 1942. Four ships of this Class, including ONSLAUGHT were not designed for use as a minelayer. In March 1942 after a successful WARSHIP WEEK National Savings campaign the ship was adopted by the civil community of the Isle of Wight.

P o s t   W a r   N o t e s

 

HMS ONSLAUGHT remained in commission after VJ Day and in September 1945 was deployed for training duties at Portsmouth Gunnery School, HMS EXCELLENT. In December she was detached to take part in Operation DEADLIGHT the destruction of surrendered U-Boats in NW Approaches. Between 1946 and 1949 she was used as a Submarine target ship in the Clyde. The ship paid off early in 1950 and put on the Disposal List. She was transferred to Pakistan on 3rd March 1951 and renamed PNS TUGHRIL. In 1957 the ship was converted for use as an Anti-Subrnarine Frigate and remained on the Active List until 1975. Two years later she was scrapped. The name was used again by the RN in September 1960 when given to a Royal Navy submarine.
