  Navy News - Ships of the Royal Navy - HMS Liverpool   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
HMS Liverpool was the last of the Batch 2 destroyers - built at Cammell Laird in Birkenhead, she entered service just before a tranche of modifications was made to the class as a result of lessons learned in the Falklands War.
Early 1758 saw the launch of the second Liverpool, and in the 20 years before she was wrecked off Long Island in North America she served in the Channel, the North Sea, Newfoundland and the Mediterranean.
Liverpool number four was order in mid-1825, but cancelled before the end of the decade, so the next ship to see service was a steam frigate, launched in October 1860, and sold 15 years later.
