Belgian ship A4 Patrol vessel "A4" (French: "Patrouilleur A4" ) was a small Mersey-class naval trawler operated by Belgium during the Second World War. Originally built for the British Royal Navy, as HMS "John Ebbs", the ship is notable for its role in evacuating Belgian gold reserves to England during the Battle of Belgium in May 1940. The success of the operation not only allowed the Belgian government in exile to fund its operations but deprived the German occupiers of an important asset to support their war effort. After the Belgian surrender, the vessel and its crew interned themselves in neutral Spain. In 1946, the vessel and its crew were released and the ship was scrapped soon afterwards.
