[PAR] [TLE] HMS Boadicea (H65) [SEP] HMS "Boadicea" was a B-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy (RN) around 1930.  Initially assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet, she was transferred to the Home Fleet in 1936.  Before her departure, the ship evacuated civilians from Spain during the beginning of the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939.  "Boadicea" later spent considerable time in Spanish waters, enforcing the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides of the conflict.  During World War II, the ship spent the bulk of the war on convoy escort duty in British waters and participated in the Battle of the Atlantic, Operation Torch, the Russian Convoys, and in the Normandy landings.  Badly damaged by German dive bombers in 1940, she was sunk almost exactly four years later by German aircraft.
