HMS KELLY(HMS KIPLING)

HMS KELLY (HMS KIPLING) HMS KELLY (HMS KIPLING)

Die HMS Kelly war ein Zerstörer der K-Klasse. Als kleinerer Nachfolger der Tribal-

Klasse ab 1939 in Dienst gestellt, gehörten die insgesamt 24 Zerstörer der J-, K-

und N-Klasse bei Kriegsbeginn zu den modernsten Kriegsschiffen der Royal Navy.

Gegenüber ihren Vorgängern entschied sich die Admiralität für eine verstärkte

Torpedobewaffnung. Außerdem erhielten alle Zerstörer statt der Vorrichtungen

zum Räumen von Minen eine Wasserbomben-Bewaffnung und modernste

Radargeräte zur Feuerleitung und Luftraumüberwachung.

Die Schiffe bewährten sich im Einsatz, erlitten aber auch schwere Verluste. Bis

Kriegsende gingen 13 Zerstörer der J-, K- und N-Klasse verloren. Die HMS Kelly

lief am 25. Oktober 1938 bei Hawthorn Leslie and Company in Hebburnon vom

Stapel und ging am 23. August 1939 in Dienst. Als Führungsschiff der „5th

Destroyer Flotilla“ war es unter dem Kommando von Lord Louis Mountbatten

vor der britischen Küste, vor Norwegen und im Mittelmeer im Einsatz. Während

der Kämpfe um Kreta wurde die HMS Kelly am 23. Mai 1941 von mehreren Ju 87

angegriffen und versenkt. Die HMS Kipling wurde am 12. Dezember 1939 in

Dienst gestellt und in der 7. Zerstörerflottille der „Home Fleet“ eingesetzt. Seit

März 1942 der 14. Zerstörerflottille in Alexandria zugeteilt, wurde sie am 11. Mai

1942 zusammen mit drei weiteren Zerstörern an der nordafrikanischen Küste vor

Marsa Matruh durch vierzehn Ju 88 angegriffen und versenkt.

The HMS Kelly was a destroyer of the K Class. As smaller successors to the Tribal

Class the 24 destroyers of the J, K and N Classes were among the most up-to-

date Royal Navy warships when they went into service from 1939. The Admiralty

decided to arm them with more powerful torpedoes compared to their prede-

cessors. In addition instead of mine clearing equipment, all the destroyers

received depth charges and the latest fire control and air search radar equip-

ment.

The ships proved themselves in operation, but also suffered some heavy losses.

By the end of the war 13 destroyers of the J, K and N Classes had been lost. The

HMS Kelly was launched on 25th October 1938 by Hawthorn Leslie and

Company at Hebburn and went into service on 23rd August 1939. As the lead-

ing ship of the 5th Destroyer Flotilla she was under the command of Lord Louis

Mountbatten off the British coast, off Norway and in the Mediterranean. During

the battles off Crete HMS Kelly was attacked by several Ju 87s and sunk on 23rd

May 1941. The HMS Kipling was commissioned on 12th December 1939 and

served with the 7th Destroyer Flotilla of the Home Fleet. From March 1942 she

was assigned to the 14th Destroyer Flotilla at Alexandria and on 11th May 1942,

together with three other destroyers, she was attacked and sunk by fourteen Ju

88s off Marsa Matruh on the North African coast.

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified

Revell recommends painting it before building it. In some cases it is smart to partially assemble pieces if they all need to be painted in the same colour.
