HMAS Waterhen (l)

HMAS Waterhen was a V and W Class, Destroyer. In 1933 the Admiralty agreed to loan the Flotilla Leader Stuart and four V and W Class destroyers (Vampire, Vendetta, Voyager and Waterhen) to the RAN as replacements for the S Class destroyers. These ships formed the Australian Destroyer Flotilla, later to become famous as the 'Scrap Iron Flotilla'.
