She was launched on 5th June 1910 as the 1st RN ship to bear the name, that of a fox-hunt in Northumbria. Build was completed on 2nd December 1940. After a successful WARSHIP WEEK National Savings campaign in February 1942 the ship was ’adopted’ by the civil community of Hexham, Northumberland. A close association established with this ship by Hexham continued after her loss in 1943. Her career has been recorded by Martin Francis in TYNEDALE’S WARSHIPS published in 1994 and is also covered by exhibits in the local Museum. Reunions have been held in Hexham since the end of WW2.
