The O and P class was a class of destroyers of the British Royal Navy. Ordered in 1939, they were the first ships in the War Emergency Programme, also known as the 1st and 2nd Emergency Flotilla, respectively. They served as convoy escorts in World War II, and some were later converted to fast second-rate anti-submarine frigates in the 1950s.
The O-class ships were built in two groups of four. The first group had 4.7 in guns in low angle mounts which could only elevate to 40 degrees, therefore they were fitted with a 4 in anti-aircraft gun in place of one set of torpedo tubes. The second group had 4 inch guns in high angle mounts and were fitted to act as minelayers and could be recognised by the flat "beaver tail" stern over which the mines were dropped. When carrying mines they had to land Y gun, their torpedo tubes and depth charges. The designed anti-aircraft armament was a single quadruple QF 2-pounder "pom pom" and a pair of quadruple 0.5 in Vickers A/A machine guns. The latter proved to be practically useless, and were replaced with the 20 mm Oerlikon gun as it became available, with a total of six single mounts eventually being carried.
All ships survived the war. Five of the ships were involved in the Battle of the Barents Sea against the German heavy cruiser Hipper, the Battleship Lützow & 6 destroyers, Onslow being heavily damaged (Captain Sherbrooke being awarded the Victoria Cross). After the Battle of Barents Sea the ships were refited with tall lattice masts instead of the normal mast.
