HMS Erne (U03)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS Erne (U03) was a Black Swan-class sloop laid down by Furness Shipbuilding at Barrow-in-Furness on May 26, 1938, launched on April 18, 1939 and commissioned on November 3, 1939.
She takes her name like others in her class from birds, in this case a White-tailed Eagle, also known as the Erne.
Erne was reduced to a drill ship on June 4, 1952 and renamed Wessex. She arrived at Antwerp on October 27, 1965 where she was broken up.
