? | + | ''HMAS Vampire'' was a ''V''-class destroyer of the [[Royal Navy]] (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Launched in 1917 as ''HMS Wallace'', the ship was renamed and commissioned into the RN later that year. ''Vampire'' was loaned to the RAN in 1933, and operated as a depot tender until just before World War II. Reactivated for war service, the destroyer served in the Mediterranean as part of the Scrap Iron Flotilla, and was escorting the British warships ''HMS Prince of Wales'' and ''HMS Repulse'' during their loss to Japanese aircraft in the South China Sea in December 1941. ''Vampire'' was sunk on 9 April 1942 by Japanese aircraft while sailing with the aircraft carrier ''HMS Hermes'' from Trincomalee. | ||
