HMS Malcolm (D19 and I19) was a British destroyer, which was laid down in March 1918, launched in May 1919, and entered service with the Royal Navy later that year. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 101.4 m, width 9.68 m, and the displacement reached 1,530 tons. However, the maximum speed was around 36-37 knots. The ship's armament mainly consisted of: 5 120 mm guns, a single 76 mm anti-aircraft gun, and 6 533 mm torpedo tubes. HMS Malcolm (D19 and I19) was the sixth of 8 ships of the Admiralty-class, sometimes called Scott - from the first of its kind. Units of this type were conceived as the so-called destroyer flotilla leaders were therefore slightly larger than typical destroyers of the time, better armed, and above all had relatively large command and communication compartments and rooms. Overall, they turned out to be successful and solid ships. HMS Malcolm served in the 5th Destroyer Flotilla in the 1920s, operating primarily in the Atlantic. However, relatively shortly after entering service, he was placed in the reserve. He returned to active service shortly after the outbreak of World War II. In the course of this armed conflict, HMS Malcolm participated in the Norwegian campaign in 1940 and in Operation Dynamo, i.e. the evacuation of the Allied forces from Dunkirk. In 1942, he served in the cover of the so-called Arctic and Mediterranean convoys, covering convoys bound for Malta. This year, he also supported amphibious operations in Algeria. In the years 1943-1945, he continued to perform primarily convoy service, operating in the Atlantic, including operating from bases in Gibraltar and Freetown. The unit was sold for scrap in July 1945.
