Terror trains Singapore's shore batteries

Terror's interwar live-fire exercises, including a target towed by HMS Berwick, helped prepare Singapore's fixed guns.

Notes

After reaching Singapore, Terror spent much of the remaining interwar period testing and practising with the base's shore batteries. One exercise used a target towed by HMS Berwick, a County-class heavy cruiser, alongside other live-fire drills. The exercises were intended to improve the performance of Singapore's guns before war returned to the region. Terror therefore served as a training platform for the base's defences as well as a temporary 15-inch battery.
