HMS Abercrombie was a British World War II monitor. The keel for this unit was laid in 1941, the launch took place in March 1942, and the entry into service took place in May 1943. The total length of the ship was 113.8 meters and a width of 27.4 meters. Full displacement reached about 9,800 tons, and maximum speed - to about 12-13 knots. The ship's armament included: two 381 mm cannons, 8 102 mm cannons and 20 20 mm anti-aircraft cannons.

HMS Abercrombie was built at the Vickers Armstrong shipyard in Newcastle upon Tyne and used the main artillery originally planned for the HMS Furious line cruiser. The unit was used to a limited extent during World War II. Shortly after entering service, she was directed to the Mediterranean Sea, where she supported the Allied landing in Sicily in July 1943, and shortly thereafter - the landing at Salerno where HMS Abercrombie was damaged by a sea mine. It was repaired until October 1943, and later the ship was directed to Malta. Here, however, in August 1944, the monitor was again damaged as a result of being hit by sea mines. In 1945, after the necessary repairs, HMS Abercrombie was sent to the Pacific, but due to the surrender of Japan, he did not take part in the activities in the Far East. In the years 1945-1954, the unit served as a training ship, and in 1954 it was withdrawn from service.
