Who once owned the Royal Navy HMS Carrick?
City of Adelaide (1864) City of Adelaide is a clipper ship, built in Sunderland, England, and launched on 7 May 1864. The ship was commissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS "Carrick between 1923 and 1948 and, after decommissioning, was known as Carrick" until 2001. At a conference convened by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in 2001, the decision was made to revert the ship's name to "City of Adelaide", and the duke formally renamed her at a ceremony in 2013.
HMS Carron (R30) HMS "Carron" was a C-class destroyer of the Royal Navy, ordered in February 1942 from Scotts of Greenock. She was originally to be named HMS "Strenuous" but this was changed to "Carron" before launch to fit her revised class name. She was laid down on 26 November 1942 and launched on 28 March 1944.
