HMS Havant (H32) HMS "Havant" was an H-class destroyer originally ordered by the Brazilian Navy with the name "Javary" in the late 1930s, but was bought by the Royal Navy after the beginning of World War II in September 1939. The ship was initially assigned to escort duties in the Western Approaches, but was transferred to the Home Fleet when the Norwegian Campaign began in April 1940. She was only peripherally involved in the campaign as she escorted ships carrying troops that occupied Iceland and the Faeroe Islands as well as convoys to Narvik. "Havant" was evacuating troops from Dunkirk when she was badly damaged by Junkers Ju 87 Stuka dive bombers on 1 June and had to be scuttled.

They were ordered in the 1970s and the first boat, "Hauk", was commissioned on 17 August 1977. Designed as a development of the "Storm"- and "Snøgg"-class, by Lieutenant-commander (later Captain) Harald Henriksen, the 14 "Hauk" class vessels made up the Coastal Combat Flotilla, responsible for protecting the rugged coastline of Norway. The ships were modernized frequently and in their later form were known as "Super-"Hauks"." The Royal Norwegian Navy deployed four of these warships for anti-terror patrol in the Strait of Gibraltar.
