HMS Hunter was a H-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1930s. During the Spanish Civil War of 1936 - 1939 the ship enforced the arms blockade imposed on both sides by Britain and France, until she struck a mine in May 1937. She was under repair for the next year and a half, after which she rejoined the Mediterranean Fleet. During the first few months of the Second World War, Hunter searched for German commerce raiders in the Atlantic Ocean until she was transferred back to Britain in February 1940. Returning to action in the Norwegian Campaign, she was sunk by German destroyers during the First Battle of Narvik in April 1940.
HMS Hunter was built by Swan Hunter, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom.
Note to editors - Mirrorpix have put Hull as a location, as the HMS Hunter serviced The north Sea, and Hull
was a major base for ships in that area.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic HMS Hunter, H35, as it sails through the vast ocean. The image has successfully passed through the meticulous scrutiny of censors to be shared with the world. The HMS Hunter was a remarkable H-class destroyer commissioned by the Royal Navy in the mid-1930s. During the tumultuous Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, this formidable vessel played a crucial role in enforcing arms blockades imposed by Britain and France on both sides of the conflict. However, tragedy struck when she encountered a treacherous mine in May 1937, leading to an extensive year-and-a-half-long repair period. Once restored to her former glory, HMS Hunter rejoined the esteemed Mediterranean Fleet just before World War II erupted. In its initial months, this valiant ship scoured the Atlantic Ocean for German commerce raiders until being redeployed back to Britain in February 1940. It was during Norway's harrowing campaign that fate dealt its final blow; German destroyers sank HMS Hunter during an intense battle at Narvik in April 1940. Swan Hunter shipyard located in Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom proudly constructed this illustrious vessel that served dutifully under various circumstances throughout its existence. Although Mirrorpix lists Hull as its location due to its association with servicing ships operating within North Sea waters, this iconic photograph was taken around January 3rd of 1940. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot frozen in time, let us remember and honor those who bravely sailed aboard HMS Hunter and all those who fought valiantly during times of great adversity.
