The keel for this unit was laid in 1936, the launch took place in February 1937, and the entry into service with the Royal Navy - also in 1937. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 98.5 meters and a width of 10.1 meters. Full displacement reached approximately 1,900 tons, and the maximum speed was approximately 36 knots. The armament at the time of launching consisted of: four single 120 mm guns, ten 533 mm torpedo tubes, depth charge drop-offs and sea mines.
HMS Ivanhoe (D16) was one of the destroyers belonging to the I-type. Generally, the destroyers of this type were modeled on the H-class ships, with reinforced torpedo armament and a slightly different shape of the forward superstructure and the command bridge. The units of cash register I also had relatively strong ZOP (anti-submarine) armament. One of the destroyers of this type was just HMS Ivanhoe, who was built at Yarrow Shipbuilders in Scotstoun, UK. Shortly after entering service, he operated in the Mediterranean Basin, acting as a kind of "observer" of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, the unit underwent a minor modernization. At the end of 1939 HMS Ivanhoe was de facto converted into a mine-thrower, used in this role on several missions, only to be returned to its original configuration in February 1940. The unit took part in the Norwegian campaign (1940), and in May of the same year was responsible for laying minefields in the region of Belgium and the Netherlands under attack and later occupied by the Third Reich. HMS Ivanhoe sank on the night of August 31, 1940.
