HMS Tuscan was a T-class destroyer of the British Royal Navy that served during the Second World War and was scrapped in 1966.

Second World War service

On 7 October 1944, she and the destroyer Termagant sank the German torpedo boat TA37, the subchaser UJ210 and the harbour patrol boat GK32.[1]

Post-war service

Between 1946 and 1952, Tuscan was held as part of the reserve fleet in Portsmouth. In 1949 and 1950, she had a refit at Cammell Laird in Birkenhead. Between May 1952 and September 1953, she was converted into a Type 16 fast anti-submarine frigate by Mount Stuart Dry Docks, Cardiff and was allocated the new pennant number F156.[2]

In 1953, she was held as part of the Devonport Reserve, and in 1954 the Portsmouth Reserve. In 1960, she was part of the Chatham reserve and between 1961 and 1963 was part of the Portsmouth Operational Reserve. She was eventually sold to McLellan for scrap and arrived at Bo'ness for breaking up on 26 March 1966.
