# Greek destroyer Kanaris (L53)

RHS Kanaris (L53) (Greek: ΒΠ Κανάρης) was a Type III Hunt-class destroyer that was originally built for the British Royal Navy as HMS Hatherleigh.

## General characteristics

The Hunt class was meant to fill the Royal Navy's need for a large number of small destroyer-type vessels capable of both convoy escort and operations with the fleet. The Type III Hunts differed from the previous Type II ships in replacing a twin 4-inch gun mount by two torpedo tubes to improve their ability to operate as destroyers.
The ship was 85.3 m (280 ft) long, her beam was 11.4 m (37 ft) and draught 2.4 m (7 ft 10 in). Displacement was 1,050 long tons (1,070 t) standard and 1,490 long tons (1,510 t) under full load. Two Admiralty boilers raising steam at 300 pounds per square inch (2,100 kPa) and 620 °F (327 °C) fed Parsons single-reduction geared steam turbines that drove two propeller shafts, generating 19,000 shaft horsepower (14,000 kW) at 380 rpm. This gave a speed of 26 knots (48 km/h; 30 mph) and a range of 2,350 nautical miles (4,350 km; 2,700 mi) at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).
Her main gun armament included four 4-inch (102 mm) QF Mk XVI guns (anti-ship and anti-aircraft) in two twin mounts, with a quadruple 2-pounder "pom-pom" gun and three Oerlikon 20 mm cannons providing close-in anti-aircraft fire. The ship's anti-aircraft armament may have been supplemented by two Bofors 40 mm guns. Two 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes were fitted in a single twin mount, while two depth charge chutes, four depth charge throwers and 70 depth charges comprised the ship's anti-submarine armament. Type 291 and Type 285 radars was fitted, as was a Type 128 sonar.

## Service

The ship was laid down at the shipyard of Vickers-Armstrongs, High Walker, on 12 December 1940. Before her completion, she was transferred to the Royal Hellenic Navy and commissioned on 27 July 1942, in order to relieve heavy losses of ships sustained by Greece during the German invasion of 1941. She was named after Admiral Konstantinos Kanaris, hero of the Greek War of Independence, and later Prime Minister of Greece. She served throughout the Second World War and during the Greek Civil War. In 1959, she was returned to the Royal Navy and broken up for scrap in 1960.
# Stevensburg, Virginia

Stevensburg is a small rural unincorporated community located at the intersection of Route 3 and Route 663 in Culpeper County, Virginia, United States. Stevensburg is about 6.9 miles east of Culpeper. Stevensburg's ZIP code is 22741. The post office is headquartered in a building approximately 10 by 15 feet, thereby making it one of the smallest post offices in America. Floriculture is a prominent industry, as several large, commercial greenhouses are in operation here.

## History

In about 1742, Salubria, a large brick Georgian manor house, was built about one half mile southeast of the village now known as Stevensburg. Salubria was the birthplace of Admiral Cary Travers Grayson, personal physician to President Woodrow Wilson. In October 2000, Salubria was donated by the Grayson family to the Germanna Foundation for historic preservation.
Stevensburg was originally called York by the Quakers that lived in the area. In 1782, the community was named Stevensburg in honor of General Edward Stevens, a revolutionary war hero from Culpeper. During this time period, travelers often camped in the small ravines in the area, known as "bottoms." One ravine, ½ mile east of the village on the south side of present-day Route 3, gained considerable notoriety for "lewd behavior" (according to the Quakers), and came to be known as "Wicked Bottom."
During the winter of 1863 through 1864, Hansbrough's Ridge, a ridge about one mile east of the village, hosted the Union Army winter encampment.
