HMS Fortune was one of nine F-class destroyers built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1930s. Although she was assigned to the Home Fleet upon completion, the ship was detached to the Mediterranean Fleet to enforce the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–39. Several weeks after the start of the Second World War in September 1939, Fortune helped to sink a German submarine. The ship escorted the larger ships of the fleet during the early stages of World War II and played a minor role in the Norwegian Campaign of 1940. Fortune was sent to Gibraltar in mid-1940 and formed part of Force H where she participated in the Battle of Dakar against the Vichy French. The ship escorted numerous convoys to Malta in 1940–41 until she was badly damaged

  • HMS Fortune was one of nine F-class destroyers built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1930s. Although she was assigned to the Home Fleet upon completion, the ship was detached to the Mediterranean Fleet to enforce the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–39. Several weeks after the start of the Second World War in September 1939, Fortune helped to sink a German submarine. The ship escorted the larger ships of the fleet during the early stages of World War II and played a minor role in the Norwegian Campaign of 1940. Fortune was sent to Gibraltar in mid-1940 and formed part of Force H where she participated in the Battle of Dakar against the Vichy French. The ship escorted numerous convoys to Malta in 1940–41 until she was badly damaged by Italian bombers in mid-1941. After repairs were completed, Fortune was briefly assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet before she was transferred to the Eastern Fleet in the Indian Ocean in early 1942. The ship screened an aircraft carrier during the Battle of Madagascar later that year and was assigned to convoy escort duties for the rest of 1942 and early 1943. She returned home in February to begin conversion into an escort destroyer. The ship was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) when it was completed in mid-1943 and renamed HMCS Saskatchewan. The ship spent the next year escorting convoys in the North Atlantic before she was transferred to the English Channel to defend convoys during the Normandy landings in June 1944. Saskatchewan engaged some German patrol boats the following month and was lightly damaged. She was sent to Canada for repairs and a general refit and did not return to the UK until January 1945. The ship resumed her former duties until the end of the war in May and then ferried troops back to Canada for several months. Saskatchewan was judged surplus later that year and was sold for scrap, in early 1946. (en)

  • Lo HMS Fortune è stato uno dei nove cacciatorpediniere appartenenti alla classe F della Royal Navy. Assegnato alla Home Fleet al completamento, fu poi distaccato alla Mediterranean Fleet per le operazioni di embargo nel corso della guerra civile spagnola. Diverse settimane dopo l'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale contribuì ad affondare un sommergibile tedesco, venendo poi impegnato in compiti di scorta alle unità maggiori della flotta e svolgendo un ruolo minore nella campagna norvegese del 1940. Fu in seguito inviato a Gibilterra a metà 1940 nei ranghi della Force H: fu così presente alla battaglia di Dakar e alla difesa di numerosi convogli diretti a Malta nel 1940-41, ma rimase gravemente danneggiato a metà 1941 da bombardieri italiani. Ripreso servizio dopo le riparazioni, rientrò brevemente nella Mediterranean Fleet e quindi transitò all'Eastern Fleet nell'Oceano Indiano nei primi mesi del 1942. Assegnato alla difesa di una portaerei durante la battaglia del Madagascar, passò poi a vigilare sulle rotte dei convogli sino all'inizio del 1943 e in febbraio tornò in Gran Bretagna, dove fu convertito in cacciatorpediniere di scorta. Fu perciò trasferito alla Royal Canadian Navy a metà anno e ribattezzato HMCS Saskatchewan. L'anno successivo fece da scorta ai convogli nel Nord Atlantico prima di essere trasferito ai convogli della Manica per scortarli durante lo sbarco in Normandia; in luglio impegnò inoltre alcune motovedette tedesche, subendo danni leggeri che però lo costrinsero a tornare in Canada: non fece ritorno nel Regno Unito fino al gennaio 1945. Riprese le sue precedenti funzioni fino alla fine della guerra e poi fu assegnato alla scorta dei convogli che rimpatriavano le truppe in Canada per diversi mesi. Ritenuto superfluo, il Saskatchewan fu venduto nei primi mesi del 1946 per essere demolito. (it)
