HMS Ariadne (M65) was a British mine builder from the Second World War. The keel for this unit was laid in 1941, and the launch took place in February 1943. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 127 meters and a width of 12 meters. Full displacement reached approx. 4,000 tons, and the maximum speed was approx. 40 knots. The armament included 4 102 mm guns in two twin turrets, 12 20 mm cannons and up to 160 naval mines.
HMS Ariadne she was one of the mine makers in a class named Abdiel. The ships of this type were designed as very fast and well-armed units, designed to build mine barriers in enemy-controlled waters. They were ordered just before the outbreak of World War II. HMS Ariadne - compared to the leading class unit - differed slightly in the on-board armament, in which much more emphasis was placed on anti-aircraft defense. HMS Ariadne began its service by mining Norwegian waters and participated in Operation Stonewall in late 1943. In early 1944, the unit was transferred to the Pacific and joined the US 7th Fleet. As part of it, it operated mainly in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean. After the end of the war in the Far East, HMS Ariadne transferred British prisoners of war to bases in the British Empire. The ship was finally sold for scrap in 1965.
