HMS Charity was a C-class destroyer of the Royal Navy laid down by John I. Thornycroft and Company of Woolston, Southampton on 9 July 1943.

Renamed Shah Jahan, the ship was badly damaged in a strike by Indian Navy missile boats during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, and scrapped as a result.

She steamed 126,000 nautical miles (233,000 km; 145,000 mi) during the war, and her actions included destroying a train.

The ammunition aboard Venus Challenger exploded when the ship was hit by the missile, and the vessel quickly sunk.

The missile boats then hit the fuel storage tanks at Karachi harbour, setting them ablaze.
