HMS Rushen Castle

HMS Rushen Castle (K372) was a Castle-class corvette built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Completed in 1944, the ship escorted convoys to and from Gibraltar and the UK. After the surrender of Germany in May 1945, she served on air-sea rescue duties in British waters. Rushen Castle was reduced to reserve in 1946. She was sold to the Air Ministry in 1960 and her conversion into a weather ship was finished the following year. The ship was renamed Weather Surveyor at that time. She was sold out of service in 1977 and converted into a salvage vessel. The ship was sold for scrap in 1982 and broken up in Germany.
