HMS Abelia was a Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". that served in the Royal Navy and was built by Harland & Wolff in 1941.[1]
She was launched on 28 November 1940, and was fitted for minesweeping. She served in World War II; her commanding officer for parts of 1943 and 1944 was Lieutenant Orme G. Stuart.
On 9 January 1944 Abelia encountered a U-boat while on convoy escort duty, and moved to attack with depth charges. Lieutenant Stuart ordered an increase in speed at Script error: No such module "convert". to prevent being torpedoed, not knowing that the U-boat was equipped with T5 torpedoes, for which he would have needed to increase speed at Script error: No such module "convert".. Abelia was hit and lost her rudder, and the U-boat escaped.
She was sold in 1947 and became the merchant vessel Kraft in 1948. She was renamed Arne Skontorp in 1954. She was eventually scrapped in December 1966.
