J class destroyer and flotilla leader HMS Jarvis. Despite an impressive war record (she earned 13 battle honours) she remains virtually unknown compared to her sister, HMS Kelly
FTsCWSKUsAE2wWF?format=jpg&name=medium.jpg

Jervis had a reputation as a lucky ship (in contrast to her sister, Kelly, who seemed to have more than her share of bad luck). Despite a long and active career, in 5½ years of war and 13 major actions, not one of her crew was lost to enemy action, possibly a unique record. An example of her luck might be seen in her action at Anzio in January 1944. Supporting the landing with gunfire, Jervis and her sister ship, Janus, were attacked by enemy aircraft using Henschel Hs 293 glider bombs. Both were hit; Janus’ forward magazine exploded, sinking her with the loss of nearly 160 of her crew; Jervis’ bow was blown off, leaving her to be towed stern-first to safety. Astonishingly, not one of her crew was harmed in this incident, and she was able to rescue over 80 of Janus’ crew.

The screws had been taken (Along with the boilers and turbines) from two unfinished Capitani Romani class cruisers (Cornelio Silla & Paolo Emilio). They had a diameter of 4.2m (13.7') and weighed 12 tons. It was calculated that this machinery was good for a speed of 30 knots.
