A little anectode on H.M.S. Warsprite:
Collided with H.M.S. Barham 9 months after commission (1915),
its rudder jammed during fight in the Battle of Jutland after which it was shelled by the German Navy,
collided heavily with H.M.S Valiant (1916),
a year later (1917) with H.M.S. Destroyer, narrowly missed shelling a passenger liner (1937),
accidently fired into city of Valetta with pompoms (1937),
severely damaged (1941) by 500lb bomb at Crete,
severely damaged by 3 German guided bombs (1943),
hit magnetic mine after repairs at Portsmouth (1945),
left Portsmouth (1947) but broke tow on way to breakers, :rolleyes:
ran aground in Prussia Cove off Cornish coast and:
scrapped where she lay 1947-1956 :goodjob:
(this is just one of the reasons I wouldn’t like to join the navy )
