Overview
Class I destroyers differed from their predecessors in having quintuple-tube torpedo launchers and larger bridges. In 1940, HMS Icarus took part in the Dunkirk evacuation, the Norwegian campaign, and the "hunt for Bismarck." The ship accompanied convoys to Malta and the U.S.S.R. and sank four German submarines.
