}} | HMS Stayner (K573) was a British Captain-class frigate of the Royal Navy in commission during World War II. Originally constructed as a United States Navy Buckley class destroyer escort, she served in the Royal Navy from 1943 to 1945. Construction and transferThe ship was laid down as the unnamed U.S. Navy destroyer escort DE-564 by Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Inc., in Hingham, Massachusetts, on 22 September 1943 and launched on 6 November 1943.[1] She was transferred to the United Kingdom upon completion on 30 December 1943.[1] Service historyCommissioned into service in the Royal Navy under the command of Lieutenant Commander Harry John Hall, DSO, DSC, RD, RNR, as the frigate HMS Stayner (K573) on 30 December 1943 simultaneously with her transfer, the ship served on patrol and escort duty.[1][3] On 5 August 1944, she joined the British destroyer {{HMS|Wensleydale|L86|6}} in a depth charge attack which sank the German submarine U-671 in the English Channel south of Brighton, England, at 0200 hours at position {{coord|50|23|00|N|000|06|00|E|name=U-671 sunk}}. On 19 September 1944 together with {{HMS|MTB 724||6}}, and {{HMS|MTB 728||6}} she engaged Kriegsmarine E boats, sinking {{ship|German motor torpedo boat|S-183||2}}, {{ship|German motor torpedo boat|S-200||2}}, and {{ship|German motor torpedo boat|S-702||2}}. The Royal Navy decommissioned Stayner later in 1945 and returned her to the U.S. Navy on 24 November 1945.[1] DisposalThe United States sold Stayner on 14 November 1947 for scrapping.[1] References- Navsource Online: Destroyer Escort Photo Archive Stayner (DE-564) HMS Stayner (K-573)

3. ^1 uboat.net HMS Stayner (K 573) gives Stayner{{'}}s commissioning date as 30 January 1944 but also says her first commanding officer took command on the date of her transfer, 30 December 1943. As the normal pattern for Captain-class frigates was for them to be transferred and commissioned simultaneously, it appears that the "30 January 1944" date is a typographical error.
