HMS Cossack was a Royal Navy C-class destroyer launched on 10 May 1944.[1] She saw action at the Battle of Pusan Perimeter during the Korean War.[2] On 18 May 1951, Cossack intercepted Nancy Moller off Hainan, China. The ship was carrying a cargo of rubber bound for a Chinese port in contravention of a United Nations embargo.[3][4] Nancy Moller was escorted back to Singapore.[5]
The ship was scrapped in 1961.[1]
