Petersfield (HMS Petersfield)

HMS Petersfield was an anti-aircraft ship operated by the Royal Navy during World War II, named after the town of Petersfield in England. It was designed to defend naval fleets from enemy aircraft with specialized weapons and radar systems. The ship's role was to provide protective firepower, particularly during naval operations or convoy escorts, ensuring the safety of larger ships and their crews. Like other warships of its kind, it contributed to the broader effort of maintaining control of the seas and countering aerial threats during wartime.
