EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the HMS Usk, a Yarrow-type River-Class destroyer of the Royal Navy, in all her glory. Named after the River Usk in Wales, this ship played a crucial role in various missions during her service.
From serving with the East Coast Destroyer Flotilla to being deployed to China Station and later to Tsingtao for blockade duty, the HMS Usk proved her mettle time and again. She was then redeployed to the Mediterranean Fleet to support the Dardanelles campaign, where she supported the landings at ANZAC Cove under Lieutenant Commander W. G. C. Maxwell.
Her service continued as part of the Smyrna Patrol, enforcing blockades along the Turkish coast and participating in operations at Khios. For her valiant efforts during World War I, she was awarded the Battle Honour Dardanelles 1915-1916.
This print is not just a visual representation of a historic naval vessel; it is a testament to the bravery and dedication of all those who served aboard her.
