Background

About the ship

The design of the A-class ships was intended to be a direct response to the experience accumulated in World War I. The new ships differed from their predecessors in having quadruple-tube torpedo launchers and updated main battery guns. Acasta served in the Mediterranean until 1937, and she was then transferred to the Home Fleet. During World War II, Acasta took part in escort operations in the southwest of the English Channel. With the start of the Norway campaign, the destroyer joined the British forces active in the northern direction. HMS Acasta sank on June 8, 1940, while defending aircraft carrier Glorious from attacking German battleships.
