What was the role of HMS Wolverine during World War II?

OpenAI's Answer

HMS Wolverine was an Admiralty modified W-class destroyer that served an important role during World War II. She was primarily engaged in duties typical of escort ships, which included:

  • Protecting convoys
  • Searching for and attacking submarines, particularly German U-boats
  • Rescuing survivors from attacks

Notably, HMS Wolverine was credited with attacks on enemy submarines. For instance, she made a significant attack on what was believed to be U-47, a German submarine. Though initially thought to have been destroyed, this was later revised. The vessel likely hit another submarine, UA, which managed to escape despite damage.

During her service, HMS Wolverine was involved in Operation Pedestal, where she successfully rammed and sank an Italian submarine attempting to attack the returning carrier HMS Furious. This played a part in the overall success of Malta's relief operation.
