HMS Ravager (D70)

HMS Ravager (D70)

HMS "Ravager" (D70) was an "Attacker"-class escort carrier built in the United States and operated by the Royal Navy during World War II.

"Ravager" was initially constructed in the U.S. by Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding in Tacoma in 1942. She was purchased by the U.S. Navy and was converted to an escort carrier at Commercial Iron Works, Portland, Oregon. Upon completion in 1943 she was transferred to the Royal Navy and named HMS "Ravager".

The ship initially served as a convoy escort in the Atlantic theatre. Later in the war she was used mainly as a deck-landing training carrier. In February 1946 she was returned to the US Navy and sold for civilian use in July 1947, being renamed the "Robin Trent" and later the "Trent". She was scrapped in 1973.
