HMS Zubian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HMS Zubian was a First World War Royal Navy Tribal-class destroyer constructed from the forward end of HMS Zulu and the rear and mid sections of HMS Nubian.
Nubian's bows had been destroyed by a torpedo from a German destroyer on the night of 26-27 October 1916 of Folkestone. She was taken in tow and run ashore near Dover. Zulu had her stern blown off by a mine near Dunkirk on 8 November 1916 and towed to Calais. Both wrecks were then towed to Chatham Dockyard where Zubian was constructed out of them. She served until the end of the war, sinking the mine-laying U-boat UC-50 on 4 February 1918 off the coast of Essex, and was broken up at Sunderland in 1919.
