HMS Drury was a Captain-class frigate, originally commissioned to be built for the United States Navy as an Evarts-class destroyer escort.

Before she was finished in 1942, she was transferred to the Royal Navy under the terms of Lend-Lease, and saw service during the Second World War.

She was commissioned into the Royal Navy on 12 April 1943 and spent her wartime career on anti-submarine patrols and as a convoy escort.

On 21 April 1945 Drury, Bazely and HMS Bentinck sank U-636 west of Ireland.

She departed Chatham on 28 August, joined Task Group 21.3 off Dover, and the following day sailed for the States.
