    The HMS Gallant British G-class destroyer
    at Malta 1941
.

.
The HMS Gallant was a G-class British destroyer, built in Glasgow by A.Stephens & Sons during 1934 and launched during 1938.

L' HMS Gallant era un cacciatorpediniere Britannico della Classe G, costruito a Glasgow nei cantieri A.Stephens & Sons nel corso del 1934, e varato nel 1938.

.

On January 10, 1941, the HMS Gallant was cruising in the Straits of Sicily when she collided with a floating mine.

Il 10 Gennaio 1941, l' HMS Gallant stava incrociando nello Stretto di Sicilia, quando entrò in collisione con una mina galleggiante.

The British destroyer suffered serious damages, but was still floating and could be towed to Malta for repairs.
Here the HMS Gallant was devastated during an aircraft bombing. 
She couldn't be repaired any more.

Il cacciatorpediniere Britannico fu gravemente danneggiato dall'esplosione, ma galleggiava ancora, e fu rimorchiato a Malta per le riparazioni.
Qui l' HMS Gallant fu devastato nel corso di un'incursione di bombardieri.
Non fu più possibile ripararlo.
