135_0	HMS Versatile (D32) was an Admiralty V-class destroyer of the British Royal Navy that saw service in
135_1	World War I, the Russian Civil War, and World War II.
135_2	Construction and commissioning
135_3	Versatile, the first Royal Navy ship of the name, was ordered on 30 June 1916 as part of the 9th
135_4	Order of the 1916–17 Naval Programme. She was laid down on 31 January 1917 by Hawthorn Leslie and
135_5	Company at Tyneside, England, and launched on 31 October 1917. She was completed on 11 February
135_6	1918 and commissioned into service the same day. Her original pennant number, F29, was later
135_7	changed to G10 and became D32 during the interwar period.
135_8	Service history
135_9	World War I
135_10	All V- and W-class destroyers, Versatile among them, were assigned to the Grand Fleet or Harwich
135_11	Force. Versatile saw service in the last year of World War I.
135_12	Interwar years
135_13	During 1919, Versatile took part in the British campaign against Bolshevik forces in the Baltic Sea
135_14	during the Russian Civil War. Sailors of the ship took part in the Royal Navy mutiny of 1919. She
135_15	then served in the 1st Destroyer Flotilla in the Atlantic Fleet.
135_16	On 23 March 1922, Versatile was steaming off Europa Point, Gibraltar, at 20 knots with other
135_17	destroyers while British submarines practised attacks on them. The submarine surfaced unexpectedly
135_18	only 30 or 120 yards (27 or 110 meters) – sources differ – ahead of her. Versatile went to full
135_19	speed astern on her engines and put her helm over hard to port, but had not yet begun to answer her
135_20	helm when she rammed H42 abaft the conning tower, almost slicing the submarine in half. H42 sank
135_21	with the loss of all hands. An investigation found H42 at fault for surfacing where she did against
135_22	instructions.
135_23	In 1931, Versatile joined her flotilla in a three-week cruise to various ports on the Baltic Sea.
135_24	In October 1936, she was decommissioned, transferred to the Reserve Fleet, and placed in reserve at
135_25	the Nore.
135_26	With tensions between the United Kingdom and Nazi Germany rising, the Royal Navy recommissioned
135_27	Versatile in 1939.
135_28	World War II
135_29	1939–1940
135_30	When the United Kingdom entered World War II in September 1939, Versatile deployed with the 11th
135_31	Destroyer Flotilla for convoy defence duty in the Southwestern Approaches and North Atlantic Ocean,
135_32	based at Plymouth. She and the destroyer escorted Convoy OB 1 on 8 September 1939, and on 15
135_33	September 1939 she, Vimy, and the destroyer escorted Convoy OB 5; both convoys were carrying
135_34	troops and equipment of the British Expeditionary Force from the United Kingdom to France. On 3
135_35	February 1940, she joined the destroyers and and the sloop as they briefly escorted Convoy OG
135_36	17F during the first hours of its voyage from the United Kingdom to Gibraltar. She performed a
135_37	similar duty for Gibraltar-bound Convoy OG 18F on 11 February 1940 with the sloops and . From 12
135_38	to 15 February 1940, Versatile joined Enchantress, the sloop , the minesweeper , and the submarine
135_39	as the escort for Convoy HG 18F during the final leg of its voyage from Gibraltar to Liverpool.
135_40	In May 1940 – the month in which her pennant number was changed to I32 – Versatile was detached
135_41	from convoy duty after escorting Convoy OB 144 and, after refuelling at Plymouth, was assigned to
135_42	operations related to the evacuation of Allied personnel from the Netherlands, Belgium, and France
135_43	in the face of the successful German offensive there. On 12 May 1940 she ran aground on the Dutch
135_44	coast but was towed off by the destroyer . Early on 13 May 1940, Versatile arrived off the Hook of
135_45	Holland to take part in Operation Ordnance, the evacuation of Allied personnel from that port. That
135_46	evening, she was underway in the North Sea as an escort for the destroyer , upon which Queen
135_47	Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was embarked for passage to Breskens, when German aircraft attacked
135_48	at 20:45 hours. One bomb struck Versatiles upper deck, causing her engine room to flood, and
135_49	splinters from that bomb and several near misses killed nine men, fatally injured another, wounded
135_50	a third of her crew, and damaged her steam pipe, causing her to go dead in the water. The destroyer
135_51	towed her to Sheerness, England, for repairs.
135_52	After completing repairs in June 1940, Versatile was assigned to the 21st Destroyer Flotilla at
135_53	Sheerness and began convoy duty in the English Channel and Southwestern Approaches. On 27 June
135_54	1940, about 150 nautical miles (278 km) west of Ushant, France, at , she rescued 13 of the 40
135_55	survivors of the Royal Navy special service vessel , a submarine decoy vessel or "Q-ship" which the
135_56	German submarine had sunk on 21 June 1940 at with the loss of 56 lives.
135_57	In July 1940, Versatiles duties expanded to include anti-invasion patrols as the threat of a German
135_58	invasion of the United Kingdom grew. She came under air attack again on 3 July, avoiding damage,
