- HMS_Lightning_(G55) abstract "HMS Lightning was an L-class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was launched on 22 April 1940 and sunk on 12 March 1943 by German Motor Torpedo Boat S-55.Ordered under the 1937 Programme and laid down as Job No J4502, Hawthorn Leslie & Co of Newcastle Upon Tyne were awarded the contract to build her with machinery supplied by Parsons. She would be the 10th Royal Navy ship to bear the name Lightning. Build was completed on 28 May 1941 but had been delayed by late delivery of the three twin 4.7 mountings required meeting the original design. The Tender cost was £440,807 which excluded items such as weapons and communications equipment supplied by the Admiralty.On 25 March 1942, Lightning was adopted by the Borough of Doncaster as part of a Warship Week National Savings plan. Doncaster and the surrounding Boroughs raised over £800,000 in National Savings and effectively paid for the ship. At the same time T/S Lightning was formed in Doncaster for Sea Cadets, that continues to this day.The un-published account Struck by Lightning by Eric Gilroy was privately produced in 1993 (50th anniversary of the ship's sinking) by the son of George Gilroy a former member of the ship’s company and gives details of the service of the ship. Some dates in the account are at variance with other sources (now held in Imperial War Museum Dept.of Documents). A revised and expanded edition containing some previously unpublished material was published in 2012 as 'Struck by Lightning' by John Dann & Eric Gilroy ISBN 9781780354804.".
