HMS Aberdare

HMS Aberdare

HMS "Aberdare (J49)" was a Hunt class minesweeper of the Royal Navy from World War I.

"Aberdare" gives its name to the Admiralty's modified design of Hunt minesweepers, which are known variously as the 'Aberdare class' or 'Aberdare group'.

In 1943 "Aberdare" was part of the 2nd M/S Flotilla based at Alexandria. During that year the flotilla swept minefields outside Mersa Matruh and other harbours in Libya, and off Malta and the south coast of Sicily. From January to September 1944 the flotilla was engaged in sweeping an inshore channel from Taranto round the heel of Italy and thence up the Adriatic coast as far north as Ancona.
