Greek destroyer Kanaris

Kanaris (ΒΠ Κανάρης) was a Type III destroyer that was originally built for the British Royal Navy as HMS Hatherleigh but never commissioned. Before her completion, she was transferred to the Royal Hellenic Navy and commissioned on 27 July 1942 as Kanaris in order to relieve heavy losses of ships sustained by the Royal Hellenic Navy during the German invasion of 1941. Kanaris served throughout the Second World War and during the Greek Civil War. She was returned to the Royal Navy in 1959 and broken up for scrap in 1960.
