'''HMS ''Raider''''' was a [[Q and R-class destroyer|R-class destroyer]] built for the [[Royal Navy]] during the Second World War.

==Description==
''Raider'' displaced {{convert|1705|LT|t}} at [[Displacement (ship)|standard]] load and {{convert|2425|LT|t}} at [[deep load]]. She had an [[length overall|overall length]] of {{convert|358|ft|3|in|1}}, a [[beam (nautical)|beam]] of {{convert|33|ft|8|in|1}} and a deep [[draft (hull)|draught]] of {{convert|13|ft|6|in|1}}. She was powered by two [[Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company|Parsons]] geared [[steam turbine]]s, each driving one [[propeller shaft]], using steam provided by two [[Admiralty three-drum boiler]]s. The turbines developed a total of {{convert|40000|shp|lk=in}} and gave a maximum speed of {{convert|36|kn|lk=in}}. ''Raider'' carried a maximum of {{convert|470|LT|t}} of [[fuel oil]] that gave her a range of {{convert|4675|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|20|kn}}. Her complement was 176 officers and [[naval rating|ratings]].<ref>Lenton, p. 174</ref>

The ship was armed with four 45-[[caliber (artillery)|calibre]] [[4.7 inch QF Mark XII|4.7-inch (120 mm) Mark IX guns]] in single mounts. For [[Anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft]] (AA) defence, ''Raider'' had one quadruple mount for [[QF 2-pounder naval gun|QF 2-pdr Mark VIII]] ("pom-pom") guns and six single [[Oerlikon 20 mm cannon|{{convert|20|mm|adj=on|1}} Oerlikon]] [[autocannon]]. She was fitted with two above-water quadruple mounts for [[British 21-inch torpedo|{{convert|21|in|adj=on|0}}]] torpedoes. Two [[depth charge]] rails and four throwers were fitted for which 70 depth charges were provided.<ref>English, p. 51</ref>

==Construction and career==
HMS ''Raider'' was adopted by [[Romford]] during [[World War II]] as part of [[Warship Week]]. She was launched on 1 April 1942 as the second [[Royal Navy]] ship to carry the name, previously borne by a destroyer built in 1916 and sold in 1927.<ref name="nh"/>

==Postwar service==
''Raider'' was placed in Reserve at Devonport in January 1946 and was recommissioned for service in the Mediterranean on 6 May that year. The ship was extensively deployed for Plane Guard duties with aircraft carriers and took part in Fleet exercises. She returned to UK in August 1947 and reduced to Reserve status.<ref>Critchley, Mike, "British Warships Since 1945: Part 3: Destroyers", Maritime Books: Liskeard, UK, 1982. {{ISBN|0-9506323-9-2}}, page 78</ref>

She was subsequently sold to the [[Indian Navy]] in 1948, where she was commissioned in 1949 as '''INS ''Rana'' (D115)'''. Along with two other former R-class destroyers (''Rajput'' and ''Ranjit'') she formed part of the 11th destroyer Squadron.<ref>Blackman, Raymond V B, Jane's Fighting Ships 1963-4, Sampson Low, Marston & Co. Ltd, London, p122</ref> She was decommissioned in 1976, and scrapped in 1979.<ref name=nh>{{Cite web|url=http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-10DD-53R-Raider.htm|title = HMS Raider, destroyer}}</ref>
