HMS Patroller (D07)

HMS Patroller (D07)

The USS "Keweenaw" (CVE-44) (previously AVG-44 then later ACV-44) was an escort aircraft carrier laid down as ACV-44 under Maritime Commission contract by Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding of Tacoma, Washington, 27 November 1942; launched 6 May 1943; sponsored by Mrs. R. G. Risley; assigned to the United Kingdom 10 June 1943; reclassified CVE-44 on 15 July 1943; and transferred to the United Kingdom under lend-lease 22 October 1943.

During the remainder of World War II, she served the Royal Navy as HMS "Patroller" and operated in the Atlantic on convoy escort and patrol duty, with brief stints as a transport carrier for both the Army and Navy. Arriving Norfolk, Virginia, 9 December 1946, she was returned to the United States Navy the same day. Her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Registry 7 February 1947 and she was sold to Waterman Steamship Corp., 26 August 1947 as "Almkerk" (later renamed "Pacific Reliance"). She was scrapped in Taiwan in 1974.
