Service historyRoyal NavyMonnow was ordered on 26 December 1942 as part of the River-class building programme. The keel was laid down on 28 September 1943 by Charles Hill & Sons at Bristol. The vessel was launched on 4 December 1943.[3] The ship was commissioned into the Royal Navy on 11 May 1944 with the pennant number K 441.[4][3] After commissioning, Monnow worked up at Tobermory and served only a few months in the Royal Navy before being transferred officially to the Royal Canadian Navy on 3 August 1944.[5][3][6]Returned to the Royal Navy on 11 June 1945,[6] Monnow was never reactivated in the Royal Navy and was instead sold to the Royal Danish Navy in October 1945.[2][7] Royal Canadian NavyAfter the official transfer, Monnow was assigned to the convoy escort group EG 9 based in Londonderry. The frigate spent the majority of its wartime career in British waters with the exception of one convoy round trip to Gibraltar in October 1944. In November 1944, the ship escorted convoy JW 62 to Kola Inlet in Russia and returned to the United Kingdom escorting RA 62.[2] From 14 March to 20 April 1945, Monnow deployed with the 9th Escort Group in the English Channel.[8] While escorting convoy JW 67 in May 1945, Monnow was detached to escort surrendered U-boats departing Trondheim and making for Loch Eriboll.[2] At the end of the month, the frigate sailed for Sheerness where Monnow was paid off and returned to the Royal Navy[2] on 11 June 1945.[3][6] Royal Danish NavyThe Royal Danish Navy acquired Monnow in October 1945. The frigate was renamed Holger Danske and commissioned 20 October 1945.[7] During its service with the Danish, the ship's main armament was upgraded in 1948 from 4-inch single mounts to 5-inch single mounts.[7] The frigate was mainly used for training purposes.[7][9] The ship was decommissioned 1 August 1959[7] and broken up at Odense, Denmark[2] in 1960.[3][6] ReferencesNotes1. ^{{cite web|title= Battle Honours | url=http://www.britainsnavy.co.uk/Battle%20Honours/A%20Battle%20Honour%20Date.htm#1900|work=Britain's Navy|accessdate=19 October 2014}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 Macpherson and Barrie, p. 99 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://www.uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/151.html|title=HMS Monnow (K 441) |last=Helgason |first=Guðmundur |website=German U-boats of WWII - uboat.net |accessdate=19 October 2014}} 4. ^Macpherson and Barrie state that the ship was transferred directly to the Royal Canadian Navy on 8 March 1944. 5. ^See note 1 6. ^1 2 3 Colledge, p. 421 7. ^1 2 3 4 Balsved, 2005 8. ^Rohwer, p. 400 9. ^Blackman, p. 169 Footnotes{{reflist|30em}}References
