HMS Vansittart was an Admiralty Modified W destroyer of the Royal Navy which saw service in the Second World War.
Vansittart was built by William Beardmore & Co. She was launched on 17 April, 1919, and was commissioned on 5 November, 1919. Not much is known of her actual career, except the fact that she was responsible for the sinking of U 102 by the use of depth charges, on 1 July, 1940.
As it happened, U 102 had just recently destroyed one of its only victims, the British merchant SS Clearton, in approximately the same general region. HMS Vansittart went on to save the survivors of the Clearton, who numbered 26 people.
During its career she went under one reconstruction, to serve as a long range escort. Such maintenance was completed in June 1943.
On 25 February 1946, HMS Vansittart was sold to be broken down into scrap.
