HMS Braithwaite was a Шаблон:Sclass2 of the Royal navy during World War II. She was named after Captain Samuel Braithwaite of Шаблон:HMS, who had an eventful career, taking part in numerous engagements during the 18th century.

Originally destined for the US Navy as a turbo-electric (TE) type Шаблон:Sclass, Braithwaite was provisionally given the name USS Straub (this name was reassigned to Шаблон:USS) however the delivery was diverted to the Royal Navy before the launch.

Actions

Braithwaite served with both the 3rd and 10th Escort Groups earning battle honours for service in the North Atlantic, English Channel, Normandy 1944, North Foreland and the North Sea.

On 3 February 1945 the Шаблон:GS was sunk in the North Sea north-west of Bergen, in approximate position Шаблон:Coord, by depth charges from the frigates Braithwaite, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS. Forty-eight German sailors were killed, and there were no survivors.

On 14 February 1945 Шаблон:GS was sunk off the Faroe Islands, in position Шаблон:Coord by depth charges from the frigates Braithwaite, Bayntun, Loch Eck and Шаблон:HMS. Again there were no survivors, and the entire crew of 47 were killed.

Fate

She was declared "not essential to the defence of the United States" on 8 January 1946. The hull number was struck from the Navy list on 21 January 1946, and then sold to Northern Metals Co. of Philadelphia in June 1946 for scrapping.
