Country of origin United Kingdom
ManufacturerSmiths Dock Company
HMS Kenilworth Castle (K420) was a Castle-class corvette built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Completed in late 1943, she began escorting trans-Atlantic convoys in early 1944, before being assigned to the Gibraltar-UK route in May. Her escort group was reorganized in September and was assigned to patrol British waters and support other escort units as needed until Germany surrendered in May 1945. The ship contributed to the sinking of two German submarines, one in March 1944 and the other in November. Kenilworth Castle was assigned to air-sea rescue duties for several months after the end of the war.
She became a training ship in 1946 before she was reduced to reserve two years later. The ship was sold for scrap in 1959 and subsequently broken up.
