Originally destined for the US Navy as a turbo-electric (TE) type Шаблон:Sclass, HMS Bligh was provisionally given the name USS Liddle, a name that was later reassigned to another ship. However, the delivery was diverted to the Royal Navy before the launch.

Service history

HMS Bligh served exclusively with the 5th Escort Group taking part in operations in the Eastern Atlantic, the English Channel, and off Normandy.

On 6 May 1944, Bligh, together with Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS and two Swordfish aircraft (Sqdn. 825) of the British escort carrier Шаблон:HMS, attacked and sank the U-boat Шаблон:GS at position Шаблон:Coord using depth charges, resulting in the loss of 37 hands.

On 7 November 1944, an accidental firing of an anti-aircraft gun while docked at Liverpool caused both death and injury on the troopship Шаблон:RMS.

On 27 January 1945, Bligh, along with Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS attacked and destroyed the submarine Шаблон:GS with depth charges, causing the loss of all 52 hands at position Шаблон:Coord.
