HMS Volage (R41)

HMS Volage (R41)

HMS "Volage" (R41) 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 F41.

She was commissioned on 26 May 1944. On 22 October 1946 the "Volage" together with HMS "Saumarez" were badly damaged by mines laid in the North Corfu Channel. On 9 April 1949, the International Court of Justice ruled that Albania was responsible under international law for the damage and loss of human life which resulted from that incident, and that there was a duty upon Albania to pay compensation to the United Kingdom. The "Volage" was reconstructed as a Type 15 frigate during 1952-1953 and scrapped in 1965.
