The outbreak of World War II brought with it a series of important tasks – from escorting transport convoys in 1939, to hunting German vessels, and taking part in the Norwegian campaign (1940), where it escorted troop transports to Norway. In 1941, HMS York was heavily damaged during a night attack by Italian explosive boats in Suda Bay (Crete), which put the ship out of further operational use. Due to extensive damage, it was grounded on a shallow, where it served for a while as an improvised anti-aircraft battery until it was destroyed by Luftwaffe air raids. After the war, the ship was scrapped in Greece.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eTrumpeter 05351 HMS York 1\/350\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a high level of detail: from realistic superstructures, through deck structure, to armament and onboard equipment.
