HMS Leamington was a Hunt-classminesweeper of the Aberdaresub-class built for the Royal Navy during World War I. She was not finished in time to participate in the First World War and was sold for scrap in 1928.
Design and description
The Aberdare sub-class were enlarged versions of the original Hunt-class ships with a more powerful armament. The ships displaced 800 long tons (810t) at normal load. They had a length between perpendiculars of 220 feet (67.1m) and measured 231 feet (70.4m)long overall. The Aberdares had a beam of 26feet 6inches (8.1m) and a draught of 7feet 6inches (2.3m). The ships' complement consisted of 74 officers and ratings.
The ships had two vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Yarrow boilers. The engines produced a total of 2,200 indicated horsepower (1,600kW) and gave a maximum speed of 16 knots (30km/h; 18mph). They carried a maximum of 185 long tons (188t) of coal which gave them a range of 1,500 nautical miles (2,800km; 1,700mi) at 15 knots (28km/h; 17mph).
Following shakedown, the destroyer joined Destroyer Division 16 (DesDiv16), Destroyer Squadron 4 (Desron4), Pacific Fleet, late in October 1919 and operated out of San Diego, California, on training cruises through the spring of 1922. While performing this duty, Twiggs was classified DD-127 on 17 July 1920 during the Navy-wide assignment of alphanumeric hull numbers. A combination of factors—increased operating costs, manpower shortages, and the general anti-military climate which followed World War I—resulted in a reduction of the Navy's active Fleet. Accordingly, Twiggs was decommissioned at San Diego on 24 June 1922.

SECRET WW2 BASES ON THE RIVER HAMBLE - HMS CRICKET & HMS TORMENTOR 1944

In June 2004 a memorial to those who served at HMS Cricket was unveiled by Countess Mountbatten in Manor Farm Country Park, near the kiosk at Barnfield.
In 1944 Countess Mountbatten had been a Wren based at HMS Tormentor at Warsash at the mouth of the river - she spoke of how the Solent was so tightly packed with craft "you could have walked dry shod across to the Isle of Wight".
HMS Cricket was the name given to a Royal Navy shore establishment on this part of the river Hamble from 1943 to 1946. Initially it was a Royal Marine landing craft crew training area but was later used as a secret training base for the flotilla of landing craft taking men, tanks and supplies across the channel from Warsash ...

In the build up to D-day there were some 4000 men attached to HMS Cricket, which had its own roads, services, cinema, medical facilities, and ammunition compounds.
After decommissioning, the many buildings of HMS Cricket were used for temporary post-war accommodation for the civilian population of Southampton.
The memorial is by the cafe in the park .
