 C Class Destroyers
HMS Cavalier is the last example of the classic British wartime destroyer and is now preserved as a memorial to all who lost their lives in destroyers throughout World War Two.
HMS Cavalier was built by Samuel White at Cowes on the Isle of Wight and served the early part of her career in the bitter cold of the Arctic protecting the vital convoys to and from Russia.
HMS Cavalier is the last of the British Wartime destroyers and is a fitting tribute to those men who gave their lives to protect their country.

 British Commonwealth Carrier Operations in the Korean War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Although less capable than her USN counterparts, HMS Triumph played a key role in the war by being in the right place at the right time, and her contribution was, thus, more significant than that of forces who were too far away.
HMS Glory, another of the ubiquitous light fleet carriers, carried the re-formed 14th CAG equipped with Sea Furies and Firefly FR5s, which were to be the standard Commonwealth carrier fighter-bombers for the rest of the war.
HMS Ocean instituted pre-dawn missions, and these proved very productive of targets as the aircraft found enemy road transport that was still on the move.

 USS Taylor (DD-468) Biography on DanceAge
In late October, the escort destroyer returned north to the western coast of Korea where she patrolled with two British warships, the carrier HMS Glory (R62) and the cruiser HMS Birmingham (C19).
She reached Yokosuka on the 12th and, after visiting that port and Sasebo, put to sea to join a carrier task group built around USS Bairoko (CVE-115) and HMS Ocean (R68) off the western coast of Korea.
For the most part, she screened the carriers during air operations; however, on two occasions, she patrolled close to the enemy-held shoreline to discourage the North Koreans from attempting to take offshore islands held by United Nations forces.
