The
HMS Hartland British Banff-class sloop
. The HMS Hartland (former USCG Ponchartrain) was a Banff-class British escort sloop: she was one of the ten US Coast Guard cutters loaned to the Royal Navy at the beginning of the II World War. . L' HMS Hartland (ex USCG Ponchartrain) era una corvetta di scorta Britannica della Classe Statunitense Banff: era una delle dieci corvette prestate alla Royal Navy dalla Guardia Costiera Statunitense all'inizio della II Guerra Mondiale. The Banff-class sloops (1700 tons, max speed 16kn, six 5in guns) were slower than a surfaced submarine, but well armed: they were built between 1927 and 1931. Le corvette della Classe Banff (1700 tonnellate, velocitą massima 16 nodi, sei cannoni da 127mm) erano pił lente di un sommergibile in superficie, ma erano bene armate: furono costruite tra il 1927 ed il 1931. On November 8,
1942, the HMS Hartland and her sistership HMS Walney
supported a commandos operation during the Allied invasion of Northern
Africa off the coasts of Algeria. L' 8 Novembre
1942, la HMS Hartland e la gemella HMS Walney
stavano appoggiando un'
operazione di commandos durante l'invasione Alleata del Nord Africa, sulle
coste dell'Algeria. After the end of the II World War, the surviving Banff-class sloop returned to the US Coast Guard. Alla fine
della II Guerra Mondiale, le corvette della Classe Banff superstiti furono
restituite alla US Coast Guard. |
