Only two months later she took up the role of close escort in the Pedestal convoy to Malta. During the fierce attacks that dogged the convoy, "Ledbury" claimed three enemy aircraft destroyed and five damaged, and was one of three destroyers that helped the crippled oil tanker "Ohio" into the Grand Harbour. She added to her battle honours with the Allied landings in Sicily, Salerno, and operations in the Adriatic and Aegean. The Royal Navy finally scrapped "Ledbury" in 1958.
