Ship project history: British escort destroyer Haldon of Hunt 3 type, transferred to FNFL 15/12/1942. Transfer of two more ships of this class was assumed.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: La Combattante was lost from an underwater explosion in Humber mouth. The reason considers mining, though sinking of the ship by German midget submarine KU330 may been.
