HMS Wolverine (D78) was a Royal Navy destroyer built by J.S. White & Co. shortly after the First World War. Part of a class of 16 ships, she was commissioned in 1920 and completed for service in 1924. Wolverine was a modification of the W-class destroyer and carried a light armament for a ship her size. During the Second World War, this vessel sank the Italian submarine Dagabur, and shared credit with HMS Scarborough for the sinking of U-76. On March 8, 1941, Wolverine unsuccessfully depth charged U-A off the coast of Iceland, an action commonly attributed to the sinking of U-47. Wolverine was scrapped at Troon in September 1946. See HMS Wolverine for other ships of this name. Wolverine (D28) Wolverine
