HMS Shearwater

HMS Shearwater was a Kingfisher-class sloop of the Royal Navy. Shearwater was laid down at J. Samuel White, Cowes on 15 August 1938. She was launched on 18 April 1939 and commissioned on 7 September 1939. She served during the Second World War and was adopted by Farnborough Urban District Council during Warship Week in 1942. Her anti-aircraft armament was augmented during the war, with the addition of two single 20mm Oerlikon cannon atop the aft shelter. She survived the war and sold for scrapping on 21 April 1947. She was broken up by Stockton Ship & Salvage Company.
