H.M.S. SOLEBAY ASSOCIATION
The H.M.S. SOLEBAY Association was formed to provide former shipmates from all commissions the opportunity to keep in touch, and to meet. It is open to anyone who served in this Battle Class destroyer between 1945 and 1962 or who has an interest in the ship. Current membership includes shipmates from all commissions, starting with 1945 and ending with the finaly paying off in 1962.

Reunions are held annually, rotating between Portsmouth, Chatham, and Southwold (the site of the Battle of Sole Bay). In addition to the reunion, the Association publishes Solebay Link a newsletter which, as well as helping ex-shipmates to keep in touch, includes reminiscences of those who served and announcements about future events.
If you served, or know someone who did, contact Malcolm Clarke or fill in the on-line application form.
Meanwhile, explore the rest of this site for a history of the Battle Class destroyers that formed the backbone of the Royal Navy's destroyer squadrons until the 1960's.
