HMS Emperor (D98) was a destroyer of the Royal Navy that served during World War II. The ship was laid down in 1918 but not completed until 1941 due to delays caused by the First World War. Emperor participated in various operations in the Mediterranean and Atlantic theaters, including convoy escort duties and anti-submarine patrols. The destroyer was involved in the sinking of several German and Italian submarines during the war. In 1944, Emperor was transferred to the Eastern Fleet and took part in operations in the Indian Ocean. After the war, the ship was decommissioned and eventually sold for scrap in 1949. HMS Emperor's service history reflects the critical role played by destroyers in protecting convoys, hunting enemy submarines, and supporting naval operations during World War II.
