ww2dbaseFrom commissioning, HMS Dianthus was tasked with convoy escort duties, first in waters west of Britain and then with Mid-Ocean Escort Force (MOEF) group C1. On 8 Aug 1942, she counterattacked German submarine U-379, which was attempting to sink ships of Allied convoy SC-94; she sank U-379 by ramming and sinking. She later served with other MOEF groups including A3 and C5. She was decommissioned in mid-1945. In May 1947, she was sold to a Norwegian company which would operate her as a buoy tender and whaling ship with the name of Thorslep. She was ultimately scrapped at Grimstad, Norway in 1969.

My father, James Albert Williams, was a petty officer on board. His nickname was bungy(if that was how it was spelt).

My Father - in - Law, Sidney Russ served on HMS Dianthus as a Acting Submarine Detector rating.
I would love to hear any stories about him and the crew.
