From Warlike
Q1564854
HMS Hyperion was an H-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1930s. During the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), the ship served with the Mediterranean Fleet, enforcing the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides of the conflict. In the early months of World War II, Hyperion patrolled the Atlantic Ocean in search of German commerce raiders and helped blockade German merchant ships in neutral ports before returning to the British Isles in early 1940.
