Background

About the ship

V-class destroyer flotilla leaders were initially supposed to carry armaments that differed from other ships in the series, but this idea was subsequently abandoned. Built between 1916 and 1917, HMS Wallace—one of five flotilla leaders—was renamed HMS Vampire. After the end of World War I, she served in British waters and the Mediterranean. In 1933, the destroyer was leased to the Australian Navy, where she was placed in reserve from 1934 to 1938. During World War II, HMAS Vampire took part in the Battle of Punta Stilo in 1940 and the Battle of Endau in 1941, already as part of the British Eastern Fleet.
