 | | NESTOR, the only RAN N class Ship to be lost, was damaged by enemy aircraft near Crete on 15th June, 1942, and despite a the efforts of HMS JAVELIN to tow the destroyer to safety she eventually succumbed and sunk. |
 | | At about 1800 on 15 June 1942, when the convoy was off the south west corner of Crete (33°36´N, 24°30´E), NESTOR was straddled by a stick of heavy bombs which caused serious damage to her boiler rooms. |
 | | She was taken in tow by HMS JAVELIN but at about 0530 the next morning (16 June), with the destroyer then going down by the nose, permission was requested to scuttle. |
