HMS Hasdrubal was a Royal Navy shore establishment and Combined Operations base located in Bizerte, Tunisia, during World War II. It was commissioned in July 1943 to support the Allied naval forces in the Mediterranean and played a vital role in clearing North African ports.
Following the Allied victory in the North African Campaign, HMS Hasdrubal became the regional headquarters for minesweeping operations, port rehabilitation, and naval mine disposal.
