The short career of Trinidad, written by a member of her crew. Her service was entirely in Northern waters and the Arctic. While escorting PQ13, she torpedoed herself with a rogue torpedo in trying to finish off the German destroyer Z 26. After some temporary repairs in Russia she made a break for home but had to be sunk by her escort after being hit by German bombers. |
