HMS Cavalier, Royal Navy destroyer memorial in Chatham Historic Dockyard, England
The HMS Cavalier stretches 110 meters in length and features multiple decks with naval equipment, living quarters, and engine rooms open for exploration.
Commissioned in 1944, this C-class destroyer performed escort missions during World War II and protected convoys against enemy attacks off the Norwegian coast.
The National Destroyer Memorial includes bronze panels listing 142 Royal Navy destroyers and 11,000 sailors who perished during World War II.
The vessel opens for guided tours at Chatham Historic Dockyard, allowing visitors to explore command centers, crew quarters, and combat stations.
HMS Cavalier earned recognition as one of the first Royal Navy ships constructed with a partially welded hull instead of traditional riveting methods.
