Eskimo's repeated bow replacements

How many times did HMS Eskimo lose or replace her bow?

Depending on how replacements are counted, three; the Norwegian loss was the catastrophic one, followed by further battle-damaged replacements.

The first bow loss in Norway was the most severe, but Eskimo returned to service and damaged replacement bows in later actions. The running joke treats the ship's bow as expendable, while the repeated recoveries show how British damage control and repair capacity returned a heavily used destroyer to service. HMS Javelin offers an even more extensive comparison: she survived the war after losing both bow and stern and being reduced to less than half her length. Both ships depended on durable construction and dockyard work to return after severe damage.
