RFA Operations since 1905

1945-48 Palestine Patrol

In the aftermath of the Second World War no task fell to the Royal Navy more demanding than the interception of sea-borne illegal immigration into Palestine between 1945 – 1948.

 

Naval forces, mainly destroyers operated from Haifa in Palestine and the numbers of these ships allocated to the Patrol were sizeable.
