HMS Hadleigh Castle

HMS Hadleigh Castle (K355) was the lead ship for her class of corvettes built for Britain's Royal Navy during the Second World War. Completed in 1943, she helped to escort several convoys to Canada later that year and into early 1944. The ship was switched to the UK-Gibraltar run in April 1944 and remained on that assignment until after the surrender of Germany in May 1945. Hadleigh Castle was stationed in Gibraltar for most of the rest of the year and into 1946. She was reduced to reserve in 1946 and mostly remained in that status until she was sold for scrap in 1958.
