The Minesweeper Aston Villa was adopted by the Aston and Lozells women's working parties.....HMS Aston Villa was completed in 1937 and was then requistioned by the Royal Navy in 1939. She was attacked by enemy aircraft on 3rd May 1940...at the time she was operating just of Norway, she was scuttled several hours later.
 
Thank you Loisand and Alf, I had no idea that a ship had been given such a marvelous name.

R.I.P. all who sailed in her and were lost at sea.
