The British Empire and its effect on Plymouth


HMS Stork


Probably the most important command given in World War Two as far as the Royal Navy was concerned. HMS Stork at last allowed Johnny Walker to try out his aggressive tactics to take on and defeat the U-boat menace. She was a Bittern Class sloop that survived the war as a very active escort vessel indeed. Image Courtesy of Imperial War Museum
