HMS Badsworth (L03) was a British WWII destroyer. The keel for this unit was laid in 1940, and the launch took place in March 1941. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 85.34 meters and a width of 9.62 meters. Full displacement reached approx. 1,490 tons, and the maximum speed was approx. 26-27 knots. The armament included 6 102 mm guns in three twin turrets, 2 20 mm cannons, and depth charges.

HMS Badsworth was one of the Hunt II class destroyers. This type of units was built in connection with the Royal Navy's desire to acquire two basic types of destroyers in the late 1930s: the first type was to be a typical destroyer with strong weapons, adapted to work with other, larger ships, and the second type - the Hunt - it was to be smaller and dedicated to escort tasks and ZOP activities (fighting submarines). The Hunt II type was a development of the Hunt I type. Compared to its predecessor, it was primarily characterized by stronger anti-submarine weapons and an increased width. HMS Badsworth began his combat career by participating in Atlantic convoys and, with exceptions, he performed such tasks in the years 1941-1943. These exceptions include, first of all, the participation in Operation Harpoon in June 1942, when the ship was part of a convoy headed for Malta. At the end of this operation, the destroyer stepped on a mine and was damaged. After repairs in Malta and Great Britain, HMS Badsworth at the end of 1942 took part in the cover of the convoy heading to Murmansk. In 1943, he returned to the Mediterranean Sea in the same role as in Operation Harpoon. In August 1944, it was handed over to the Norwegian Navy, where it served (under the name Arendal) until 1961.
