Swan Hunter laid her down at Wallsend in October 1940, and the Royal Navy commissioned her on 7th September 1942, only weeks after this photograph. Much of her ship’s company came on loan from the Royal Australian Navy. She went on to serve in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and with the 4th Destroyer Flotilla of the Eastern Fleet from Trincomalee, before ending the war with the British Pacific Fleet. Handed to Australia in 1945, she had one of the shortest careers of any ship in the Royal Australian Navy, paying off after just 59 days. She was finally sold for scrap in 1958.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou can read more about the history of HMS Quality \u003ca
