HMS Vervain (K190)

HMS Vervain was a Flower-class corvette of the Royal Navy. She served during the Second World War.

On 28 February 1943 the liberty ship SS Wade Hampton was torpedoed by U-405 while sailing in a convoy from New York to Murmansk, Russia. Survivors were picked up by Vervain, SS Bayano and HMS Beverly near Greenland.

On 20 February 1945 at 11.45 hours Vervain was escorting a homeward-bound convoy when she was sunk by a torpedo from the U-boat U-1276, under Oberleutnant zur See Karl-Heinz Wendt about 25 miles south-east of Dungarvan, Ireland, south of Waterford. Vervain sank after 20 minutes. Three officers and 30 ratings were rescued.
