Q970599




HMS Acheron was an A-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. The ship was built by John I. Thornycroft & Company at their Woolston, Hampshire shipyard, and was launched on 18 March 1930, completing in October 1931. Acheron differed from other ships of her class in having experimental high pressure machinery, but this caused the ship to suffer mechanical problems throughout her career.
