HMS Virago (R75)
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Virago (R75) was an V-class destroyer of the British Royal Navy that saw service during World War II. She was later converted into a Type 15 fast anti-submarine frigate, with the new pennant number F76. She participated with other British destroyers in the Battle of North Cape, where her torpedoes sank the badly beaten Scharnhorst, following a fierce fight between the battleship and HMS Duke of York (17). During the Invasion of Normandy she fired on German positions behind Lion Sur Mer on Sword beach, and gave cover fire for troops advancing inland.
