HMS Heather K69

The HMS Heather was a Flower-class corvette built by the renowned Harland & Wolff shipyard, launched into the turbulent waters of history on September 17, 1940.

The crowning moment of Heather’s illustrious career came on D-Day, June 6, 1944, when she formed part of the escort force for the invasion fleet, playing a crucial role in the liberation of Europe.

The war ended, and HMS Heather, having served with distinction, was sold for scrap on May 22, 1947. She was dismantled at Grays, her steel hull echoing the silent stories of bravery, resilience, and sacrifice.
