HMS Hardy was a V-class destroyer of the Royal Navy that saw service during the Second World War.
History[edit]
Hardy was built by John Brown & Company, Clydebank, laid down on 14 May 1942, launched 18 March 1943, and completed 14 August 1943.
While escorting Convoy JW 56A during the Second World War, Hardy was torpedoed and damaged in the Arctic Ocean at 73°40′N 24°30′E / 73.667°N 24.500°E by the German submarine U-278 on 30 January 1944 with the loss of 35 crew members. The British destroyers HMS Venus [1] and HMS Virago rescued her survivors and sank her. HMS Virago sustained damage to her bow while in contact with Hardy which was later repaired by Russian workers while at the convoy destination in Murmansk.[2]
