HMS Trumpeter (D09)

HMS Trumpeter (D09)

The USS "Bastian" (CVE-37) (originally AVG-37 and then ACV-37) was an escort aircraft carrier built by Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding of Tacoma, Washington, laid down on 25 August 1942 and launched 15 December 1942. She was transferred to the United Kingdom, under Lend-Lease and commissioned on 4 August 1943 as HMS "Trumpeter" (D09).

On 4 May 1945 aircraft of 846 Naval Air Squadron flew from "Trumpeter" to take part in an attack on the U-boat depot at Kilbotn, Norway, contributing eight Avengers and four Wildcats to a 44-aircraft attack that destroyed several vessels including the depot ship "Black Watch" and "U-711".

"Trumpeter" was returned to United States' custody 6 April 1946, stricken from the Naval Vessel Register 19 June 1946 and sold into merchant service as the "Alblasserdijk" (later renamed "Irene Valmas"). She was sold for scrap in Spain in 1971.
