HMS Bramham (L51)

HMS Bramham (L51) was a Hunt class destroyer of the Royal Navy laid down in Alexander Stephen and Sons shipyards Govan, Scotland on 7 April 1941. She was launched on 29 January 1942 and commissioned into the Royal Navy on 16 June 1942. In the following August she served in Operation Pedestal, a mission to deliver supplies to the besieged island of Malta, as an escorting destroyer. In the last stages of the operation Bramham along with two other destroyers, Ledbury and Penn took on the final tow of the tanker SS Ohio into Malta. In March of the following year Bramham was transferred to the Royal Hellenic Navy and renamed Themistoklis. She served until 1959 and was then returned to the Royal Navy on 12 November 1959. She was scrapped in 1960.
