HMT Warwick Deeping
From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...
HMT Warwick Deeping was an anti-submarine trawler of the Royal Navy built in 1934 in Selby for the Newington Steam Trawling Co. of Kingston upon Hull, and sunk by German torpedo boats off the Isle of Wight on 12 October 1940.
Originally a fishing trawler intended strictly for peaceful fishing, the Warwick Deeping was requisitioned by the Admiralty in September 1939 for anti-submarine duties and converted for war, for example by fitting submarine detection gear.
Today, the wreck lies sunk into the soft seabed on an even keel in approximately 40 m of water, very much intact with access to her engine room and galley.
