History of HMS Ithuriel

HMS Ithuriel (H05) was a British I-class destroyer serving in the Royal Navy during World War II. The ship was launched in 1940 and entered service in 1941. Its main task was convoy escort, especially in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. One of the memorable episodes was HMS Ithuriel's role in Operation "Pedestal" in August 1942 – a crucial convoy to the besieged Malta. During operations, the destroyer was unfortunately damaged following an air attack on Malta in 1942 and did not return to active combat service.
