Laid down as HMS Teme at South Bank-on-Tees, she was named after a river on the
English-Welsh boarder. Transferred to the RCN, she was commissioned in the RCN at Middlesbrough
on 28 Feb 1944. After working up, Teme was
assigned in May to EG 6, Londonderry, and spent her whole career
with this group. She was present on D-Day, and on 10 Jun 1944 was rammed
in the Channel by the escort carrier HMS Tracker, and cut almost in
half abaft the bridge. She was towed by Outremont 200 miles to
Cardiff, where she remained under repair until Christmas. In 19 Jan 1945, she went to Tobermory to work up, returning to
Londonderry on 09 Feb 1945 to rejoin her group. At 0822 on
29 Mar 1945, U-315
fired a Gnat at Teme who was escorting
the convoy BTC-111 off Lands End and hit her stern. She lost 60 feet of
her stern, was towed to Falmouth where she was declared a total loss. On
04
May, 1945, she was returned to the Royal Navy and sold for
scrap on 08 Dec 1945. She was broken up at Llanelly,
Wales, in 1946.
