| Description | The Hunt-class destryoer HMS Mendip (L60). She was lent to the Chinese Navy in May 1948, together with the light cruiser HMS Aurora (12), and was renamed Lin Fu, after major general Zhang Ling Fu, commander of the 74th division, who fell during the Chinese Civil War. After Aurora (renamed Chung King) defected to the communists in February 1949, Mendip was repossessed by Royal Navy in June 1949 and re-commissioned with the ship's company of the destroyer HMS Consort (R76). She was sold to the Egyptian navy, becoming Mohamed ali-El-Kebir on 15 November 1949. She was renamed Ibrahim-El-Awal later in 1951. As part of the naval operations during the Suez crisis she was left without power and unable to steer after an attack, and Ibrahim el Awal surrendered to the Israeli navy. The Egyptian frigate was subsequently incorporated into the Israeli navy and renamed Haifa. She served with the Israeli navy through the late 1960s, when she was decommissioned. |
