HMS Byard

HMS Byard was a Captain-class frigate of the Royal Navy during World War II. She was named for Sir Thomas Byard, who commanded HMS Bedford at the Battle of Camperdown in 1797 during the French Revolutionary Wars. Originally destined for the US Navy as a turbo-electric (TE) type Buckley-class destroyer escort, HMS Byard was provisionally given the name USS Donaldson (this name was reassigned to DE 44). However the ship was diverted to the Royal Navy before her launch.
