Description: HMS TERROR HMS Terror was launched on 18th May 1916 and commissioned in August of the same year.Terror joined the Dover patrol in August 1916 and operated against German forces on the coast of occupied Belgium. On 19 October 1917, she was torpedoed by German motor torpedo boats off Dunkirk. There were no casualties and the ship was beached before being towed back to Portsmouth. The damage took three months to repair. In April 1918, Terror was in the Long Range Bombardment force for the Zeebrugge raid with her sister ship HMS Erebus and destroyers Termanent, Truculent and Manley. On 27 September, Terror, along with her sister ship Erebus, provided gunnery support for the Fourth Battle of Ypres. At the outbreak of WWII, Terror was based at Singapore, supporting the defences of the major naval base there, but had to be recalled to serve in theatres closer to home. She mainly served in the Mediterranean. After first using her anti-aircraft armament to help defend Malta against the first Italian air attacks on 11 June 1940, Terror played an important part in the British assault against the Italian 10th Army in Libya.During the successful advance by the Western Desert Force (later to become the 8th Army Desert Rats), Terror bombarded Italian land forces and fortifications. Terror was subjected to attacks by German dive bombers on 22 February 1941 after leaving Benghazi. She was badly damaged by near misses and abandoned by her crew.
