Misc

Survived World War II.
She fought in an engagement with German Destroyers in November 1940 where she lost her bow and stern.
It is interesting that multiple official sources and archives are conflicting between who is the name-ship of the J-class Destroyers. Some sources argue HMS Javelin while others argue HMS Jervis.
Her crew had a rough record as there were disciplinary actions taken against the crew due to refusal to work and return to duties that occurred on 17th of October 1945.
