Killed in Action – 22nd October 1943
HMS Hurworth was a ‘Hunt’ Class Destroyer. She left Alexandria on 21st October 1943 as part of the supply force in the Dodecanese islands. The following day, with the ships just off the neutral Turkish coast prior to the ‘dash’ to Leros, the Greek destroyer Adrias struck a mine and was badly damaged. Hurworth, on going to investigate, suffered the same fate, but the explosion split the ship in two. Both halves sank within 15 minutes. Six officers and 127 ratings died.
Research included.
