She was first commissioned into the Royal Navy in August 1939, in late 1942 she was assigned for duty in the North Atlantic where she played a key role in the battle of North Cape. In June 1944 she led the naval bombardment off Normandy in support of the allied landings of
D-Day. She last fired her guns in anger during the Korean War, when she earned the name "that straight-shooting ship".
