Early in the Second World War she served with the Home Fleet and captured the German merchant ship Henning Oldendorff south-east of Iceland, before two years in the Eastern Fleet from 1940. Brought home in June 1942, she was rebuilt as an anti-aircraft cruiser over the following nine months, and after surviving both world wars she was broken up by Cashmore’s at Newport in
