A PORT NAMEPLATE FROM H.M. DESTROYER HAVELOCK, 1939
cast in brass and drilled for bulkhead mounting and finished with red field -- 5 x 16in. (12.5 x 40.5cm.); together with an unfinished casting nameplate for H.M. Destroyer Liddesdale, 1940 -- 4¼ x 19in. (11 x 48cm.)
(2)
Ordered from Samuel J. Whites yard in Cowes for the Brazilian navy as Jutahy, she was requisitioned before delivery in 1939 and later renamed, perhaps explaining why this nameplate is the product of a dockyard casting pit and not the usual large wooden board with 6in. high brass letters. Assigned to the Norway Campaign and later convoy escort duty during which she helped sink U-767, she formed part of the escort returning the Norwegian Government from exile in May1945 and was broken up in 1946.
