White Ensign Models 1/350 HMS Janus Sept 1940 J Class Royal Navy Destroyer Kit (K3556)
The J Class started the war as the 5th Flotilla based upon the Humber. They were initially unlucky in their encounters with German destroyers. While on patrol on December 7, 1939 Jersey and Juno were surprised by the German destroyers Lody and Geise. Jersey was badly damaged by a torpedo. In April 1940 they were involved in the Norwegian campaign, minus Jersey which would be under repair until September of that year. They then moved to the channel, where their mission was to intercept German destroyers making mine laying sorties. In November 1940 German destroyers again came out ahead, when two torpedoes struck Javelin. She was out of action for a year. In June 1940 with Italy’s entrance into the war, Jervis, Janus and Juno were sent to the Mediterranean, followed by Jersey, Jaguar and Javelin.
