HMS Glowworm

HMS Glowworm was a G-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1930s. During the Spanish Civil War the ship spent part of 1936 and 1937 in Spanish waters, enforcing the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides of the conflict. Glowworm was transferred to the British Isles from the Mediterranean Fleet shortly after the beginning of the Second World War, to escort shipping in local waters.
