HMS Greyhound (H05) was a destroyer of the Royal Navy that served during World War II. Launched in 1935, the ship was initially assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet and later participated in the Norwegian Campaign and the Dunkirk evacuation. Greyhound was involved in numerous operations, including convoy escort duties in the North Atlantic and the interception of German ships. The ship also played a key role in the Battle of Cape Spartivento, where it engaged Italian forces. In 1941, Greyhound was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Crete, resulting in the loss of most of its crew. The sinking of HMS Greyhound remains a significant event in the history of the Royal Navy and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by sailors during wartime.
