HMS Delight

A destroyer sunk early in WW2 by German aircraft. I am told that the aircraft found her mid-channel using an early form of radar, which if true she must surely be the first ship sunk as a result. The planes did a good job. Her centre section lies upside down, her bow is broken off lying on its side and the stern is upright but blown away down to her steering mechanism and propeller shafts. She is one of those wrecks which when you see her lying broken and twisted you cannot help but think of the poor brave sailors that went down with her and how suddenly it must all have happened.
