HMS Manchester was a Town-class light cruiser built for the Royal Navy in the late 1930s, one of three ships in the Gloucester subclass. Completed in 1938, she was initially deployed with the East Indies Station and had a relatively short but active career. When World War II began in September 1939, the cruiser began escorting convoys in the Indian Ocean until she was ordered home two months later. In late December Manchester began conducting patrols in the Norwegian Sea enforcing the blockade of Germany. Beginning in April 1940 the ship played a minor role in the Norwegian Campaign, mostly escorting convoys. She was assigned to anti-invasion duties in May–November in between refits.

  • HMS Manchester was a Town-class light cruiser built for the Royal Navy in the late 1930s, one of three ships in the Gloucester subclass. Completed in 1938, she was initially deployed with the East Indies Station and had a relatively short but active career. When World War II began in September 1939, the cruiser began escorting convoys in the Indian Ocean until she was ordered home two months later. In late December Manchester began conducting patrols in the Norwegian Sea enforcing the blockade of Germany. Beginning in April 1940 the ship played a minor role in the Norwegian Campaign, mostly escorting convoys. She was assigned to anti-invasion duties in May–November in between refits. In November the cruiser was tasked to escort a convoy through the Mediterranean and participated in the Battle of Cape Spartivento. Manchester was refitting during most of early 1941, but began patrolling the southern reaches of the Arctic Ocean in May. The cruiser was detached to escort a convoy to Malta in July and she was badly damaged by an aerial torpedo en route. Repairs were not completed until April 1942 and the ship spent the next several months working up and escorting convoys. Manchester participated in Operation Pedestal, another Malta convoy, in mid-1942; she was torpedoed by two Italian motor torpedo boats and subsequently scuttled by her crew. Casualties were limited to 10 men killed by the torpedo and 1 who drowned as the crew abandoned ship. Most of the crew were interned by the Vichy French when they drifted ashore. After their return in November, the ship's leadership was court martialled; the captain and four other officers were convicted for prematurely scuttling their ship. (en)

  • O HMS Manchester foi um cruzador rápido operado pela Marinha Real Britânica e a sétima embarcação da Classe Town. Sua construção começou em março de 1936 nos estaleiros da Hawthorn Leslie em Hebburn e foi lançado ao mar em abril de 1937, sendo comissionado na frota britânica em agosto do ano seguinte. Era armado com uma bateria principal de doze canhões de 152 milímetros montados em quatro torres de artilharia duplas, tinha um deslocamento de mais de onze mil toneladas e conseguia alcançar uma velocidade máxima de 32 nós (59 quilômetros por hora). O Manchester inicialmente serviu na Estação das Índias Orientais. Com o início da Segunda Guerra Mundial, escoltou comboios no Oceano Índico e depois foi transferido para participar do bloqueio naval da Alemanha. Envolveu-se na Campanha da Noruega a partir de abril de 1940 na escolta de comboios e em novembro foi enviado para o Mar Mediterrâneo, participando da Batalha do Cabo Spartivento. O navio foi colocado na escolta de comboios para a União Soviética em maio de 1941, porém voltou para o Mediterrâneo em julho, quando foi danificado por um torpedo. O cruzador participou da Operação Pedestal em agosto de 1942, uma escolta de comboio para Malta. Ele acabou torpedeado por duas lanchas torpedeiras italianas enquanto navegava próximo do Cabo Bon, na Líbia. O Manchester ficou imobilizado no mar, inundando e sem energia, sendo deliberadamente afundado por sua tripulação na manhã de 13 de agosto. A maioria dos sobreviventes foi internada na França e retornaram para casa em novembro. O capitão e quatro oficiais foram depois condenados por uma corte marcial por terem afundado o navio prematuramente. (pt)
