HMS Abingdon was a Hunt-class minesweeper of the Aberdare sub-class built for the Royal Navy during World War I. Design and descriptionThe Aberdare sub-class were enlarged versions of the original Hunt-class ships with a more powerful armament. The ships displaced {{convert|800|LT|t}} at normal load. They measured {{convert|231|ft|m|1}} long overall with a beam of {{convert|26|ft|6|in|m|1}}. They had a draught of {{convert|7|ft|6|in|m|1}}. The ships' complement consisted of 74 officers and ratings.[1] The ships had two vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Yarrow boilers. The engines produced a total of {{convert|2200|ihp|lk=in}} and gave a maximum speed of {{convert|16|kn|lk=in}}. They carried a maximum of {{convert|185|LT|t|0}} of coal[1] which gave them a range of {{convert|1500|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|15|kn}}.[2] The Aberdare sub-class was armed with a quick-firing (QF) {{Convert|4|in|mm|adj=on|0|spell=in}} gun forward of the bridge and a QF twelve-pounder (76.2 mm) anti-aircraft gun aft.[1] Some ships were fitted with six- or three-pounder guns in lieu of the twelve-pounder.[2] Construction and careerInitially she served with the Aegean Squadron. From 1919-1935 she was held in reserve at Malta, then joined the 2nd Minesweeping Flotilla in Malta and Hong Kong. Following a successful Warship Week National Savings campaign in February 1942 she was adopted by Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.[3] Returning to Malta at the start of World War II, Abingdon was damaged by a mine in 1941. She was bombed and severely damaged by Italian aircraft 5 April 1942 at Kalkara Creek, Malta and was beached with a broken back at Bighi. She was broken up there in 1950.
