		Named for a Greek millionaire who had bequeathed £300,000 for the improvement of the navy, Averof was commissioned as flagship of the Greek Navy in 1911.
		As the strongest unit in either the Bulgarian or Greek fleets (the only two countries that possessed ships), she was instrumental in defeating the Turkish forces at the Battles of Helli (December 3, 1912) and Lemnos (January 5-6, 1913).
		Following the German invasion of Greece in the spring of 1941, she escaped to Alexandria and was thereafter employed as a convoy escort in the Indian Ocean until 1944.
