After escort work in the Western Approaches and off Norway, she joined Force H for the attack on Dakar and the Battle of Cape Spartivento in 1940, then escorted Malta convoys, being damaged by bombs while refitting there in 1941. Sent east to the Java Sea, she was caught with HMS Exeter and the American destroyer Pope on 1st March 1942 and scuttled after being set ablaze. The next day the Japanese destroyer Ikazuchi, under Lieutenant Commander Shunsaku Kudō, stopped to pick up about 149 of her men, a rescue still remembered as an act of
