HMS Kandahar
HMS Kandahar was a K-class destroyer Kandahar launched on 21 March 1939. On 21 February 1941, in company with sister ship Kimberley and the cruiser Manchester, she captured the German blockade runner SS Wahehe off Iceland. On 19 December 1941, she was part of British Force K, tasked to intercept an Italian convoy bound for Tripoli when she was irreparably damaged by a newly laid Italian mine whilst attempting to rescue the stricken cruiser Neptune. She was scuttled the next day by the destroyer Jaguar. 73 men, including Ordinary Seaman George Render from Beeston, went down with the ship. (Wikipedia)
