HMS
Myngs was launched in 1943 and then commissioned into the
Royal Navy in 1944. With World War II coming to an end the
only combat action that the Myngs was involved in was off
the coast of Norway.
At
the end of the war HMS Myngs joined a peacetime navy and
spent most of it’s service with the Mediterranean fleet and
in 1955 was decommissioned and sold to the Egyptian Navy as
El Qaher.
El
Qaher served the Egyptian Navy as an anti submarine
destroyer but it’s career came to an abrupt end when in 1970 Israeli
Jets bombed her and sent her to the bottom.
Join
a team of divers and cameraman on a tour of HMS Myngs/El
Qaher and other dive sites including SS Turbo in the Red
Sea.
The wreck of HMS Myngs/El
Qaher appeared in a
feature in Diver Magazine in Nov 2007.
