HMS Locust (1939)

(Redirected from HMS Locust)

HMS Locust (1939 - 1968) was a gunboat of the Royal Navy and is named after the locust, an insect.

Launched September 28 1939 and commissioned in May 17 1940, it survived World War II service, but was severely damaged multiple times (including taking a shell hit in Operation Overlord).

It was placed in reserves in 1946, until 1951 when it was converted to a drill ship and used for training. In 1968 it was finally decommissioned and sent to the breakers.
