We are looking for information and family connected to the loss of HMS Bath.

Jeg leter etter opplysninger om Crew av HMS Bath (Hopewell DD-181). Jeg liker opplysninger om Crew medlemer

Slått i maskinromet, skipet sank om tre minutter, bryting i to fra torpedo slag. Bare 42 av henne 128 medlemsmannskap overlevd.

Hopewell was transferred to the British as part of the 50 destroyer deal in 1940. She was renamed HMS Bath on October 2, 1940 and served the Royal Navy and the Royal Norwegian Navy until she was torpedoed and sunk on August 19, 1941. Struck in the engine room, the ship sank in three minutes, breaking in two from the torpedo hit. Only 42 of her 128 member crew survived.
