  HMS Dunkirk (D09) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS Dunkirk (D09) was a Battle-class destroyer of the British Royal Navy (RN).
She was named after the dramatic, and at times, tragic and heroic Evacuation from Dunkirk between late May and early June 1940, in which over 300,000 British, as-well as French troops, were rescued by a ragtag fleet of ships.
Instead of returning home to the UK from the deployment's culmination Dunkirk deployed to the Mediterranean where Broardsword, a Weapon-class destroyer, and of the 7th Destroyer Squadron, which was based in the Mediterranean, had experienced some engine problems and therefore had to be replaced.
