HMAS Quiberon was a Q-class destroyer dating from 1942. Her service included the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the East Indies, the Pacific, Okinawa, and Japan. That career connects an eighteenth-century battle with twentieth-century Commonwealth naval operations. Her name also shows how the memory of Quiberon Bay remained available for commemoration far beyond the Royal Navy itself.
