HMS Cossack.

Contributed by Denise Morris.

I am sure that others have already pointed out that HMS Cossack (L03) was a Tribal class destroyer, lost I think in the Med. A CO class destroyer was later built and named Cossack, fitted out a a Leader (Captain (D)). 4 flotillas of the CA,CH,CO and CR classes are listed on your site. The later Cossack spent nearly all of her time from about 1946/7 on the FES Station as leader of the 8th DF (later DS) and returned to the UK in1959. She served with distinction during the Korean unpleasantness.
