HMS Chaser (D32)

HMS Chaser (D32)

The USS "Breton" (CVE-10) (originally AVG-10 then later ACV-10) was a "Bogue"-class escort aircraft carrier that served during World War II.

She was laid down on 28 June 1941 under Maritime Commission contract at Pascagoula, Mississippi by Ingalls Shipbuilding. The ship was commissioned by the United States Navy on 9 April 1943 and simultaneously transferred via the Lend-Lease program to the United Kingdom. That same day, the ship was renamed HMS "Chaser" (D32) and commissioned by the Royal Navy. "Chaser" was assigned to convoy escort on Arctic routes, assisting in the sinking of "U-472" on 4 March 1944 and "U-366" and "U-973" in the next two days.

The carrier was returned to United States' custody 12 May 1946 and sold into merchant service 20 December 1946 as "Aagtekerk". The ship was renamed "E Yung" in 1967.

Records on the matter are unclear, but the ship was apparently either burned and run ashore at Kaohsiung, Taiwan on 20 December 1972 or sank on 4 December 1973.
