Although I do not know the exact context in which the question arose, it might very well have arisen from a simple confusion between HMS CARRON (D30) and the fact that the despatch vessel HMS SURPRISE started life as an order for HMS LOCH CARRON which was changed subsequently to HMS GERRANS BAY and then completed as SURPRISE.

What is the difference between a destroyer and a destroyer escort?
I served in the Australian Navy in the 1960s and early 70s. Destroyers became bigger ships after WW11. When I 1st joined HMAS Derwent, she was a Type 12 frigate. After we got our American built Charles F. Adams destroyers, our type 12 frigates were re-designated as destroyer escorts. The Type 12s,or Whitby class to give them their original name, were around 2,500 tons. Bigger than a lot of WW11 destroyers. The Charles F.Adams Class were over 5000 tons. In WW11 and prior to that they would have ben designated as cruisers. I believe the different names simply indicate larger and smaller destroyers. Allen Lyne ex-POUC, RAN

How can you find the battle history of your uncle an-anti tank driver during WW II in Europe?
Please identify the unit. That might help. First, I have to assume you refer to US Army. Your reference to "anti-tank driver" could mean he served with either a Tank Destroyer Battalion or maybe Tank Battalion. Maybe you refer to an Anti-Tank Company which was a light field gun used to knock out tanks and was part of every infantry division.I will assume you mean a US Tank Destroyer Battalion.Generally, the history books seldom mention the Tank Destroyer Battalions. You can start by identifying the theater that the unit served in. Then find the volume of the US Army History series that covers that campaign and check the index. These volumes can be found in many libraries.Next, try to find out if it was attached to any other unit. Usually the T-D Battalions were independent but attached to an army, corps or an armored or infantry division. If you find one, then locate the unit history for that armored or infantry division and see if it mentions the T-D Battalion. If you follow the history of the parent unit then you will learn something about the T-D unit. Some books will mention these "support units" but some are reluctant to give them credit.Lastly, there are some websites for Tank Destroyer Battalions. Search for those. Contact the webmaster and ask for help. Usually they know of other T-D units and can direct you to a good source.Tank Destroyer Battalions that served in Italy:679, 757, 776, 791, 804, 805, 894Tank Battalions that served in Italy:751, 752, 756, 758(Light), 760Website for 752 Tank Battalion:http://www.752ndtank.com/index.HTMLHope that helped.Custermen
