The second HMS Atherstone was the first Type 1 'Hunt' Class Destroyer of 1000 tons displacement to be build. Laid down in April 1939 by Cammell Laird & Co. Ltd launched on 12 December 1939 and completed on 23 rd March 1940.
She joined the Orkneys and Shetland Command in Scapa Flow at the end of April 1940 and escorted convoys between the Orkneys and the Clyde. In mid August the Amerston was ordered to join the first Destroyer Flotilla at Portsmouth and on 11th September 1940 while off Ramsgate with a convoy, whe was bombed and severely damaged.
Repaired at Chatham, the Atherstone returned to coastal convoy escort duties in January 1941. She had varied duties and then a refit in Jan 1943 then she was allocated to the Mediterranean Fleet where she remained until the end of the war.
