Quality
The Royal Navy destroyer HMS Quality (G62) underway in the Indian Ocean on 13 May 1944. Quality was transferred to Australia on 8 October 1945 but served only for 59 days. Public domain.

HMS Quality was a destroyer of the Royal Navy. In the spring of 1945 she served with Task Force 57, screening the carriers of that force.

On 23 March 1945 Robert William Jocelyn was in command. That day Quality sailed with Task Force 57 and screened the carriers against the Sakishima airfields.

Her station was the screen around those carriers while the force operated against the Sakishima airfields. She stayed with Task Force 57 through that duty and was not sunk.

On 1 April 1945 Quality was at Okinawa, in the screen of Task Force 57. She came through the day afloat and was not sunk. Quality survived the war. The destroyer was not sunk, and the hull outlasted the fighting.
