HMS Hunter was a H-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1930s. During the Spanish Civil War of 1936 - 1939 the ship enforced the arms blockade imposed on both sides by Britain and France, until she struck a mine in May 1937. She was under repair for the next year and a half, after which she rejoined the Mediterranean Fleet. During the first few months of the Second World War, Hunter searched for German commerce raiders in the Atlantic Ocean until she was transferred back to Britain in February 1940. Returning to action in the Norwegian Campaign, she was sunk by German destroyers during the First Battle of Narvik in April 1940.
HMS Hunter was built by Swan Hunter, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom.
Note to editors - Mirrorpix have put Hull as a location, as the HMS Hunter serviced The north Sea, and Hull
was a major base for ships in that area.
