'HMS ''Isis'' (I87)' was an I-class destroyer laid down by the Yarrow Shipbuilders Limited, at Scotstoun in Glasgow on 6 February 1936, launched on 12 November 1936 and commissioned on 2 June 1937.
''Isis'' was involved in the evacuation of Greece in April 1941, and attacked and sank the enemy German submarine ''U-562'' while in company with the frigate ''Hursley'' and a Wellington aircraft of the Royal Air Force in the Mediterranean north-east of Bengazi on 19 February 1943.
The ship was hit in 1941 off Beirut, Lebanon after the Battle of Crete. The ship pursued two French destroyers which escaped. The ship was then hit by a JU-88 plane, and severely damaged. The ship began to be towed by the HMS Hero to Haifa, Palestine. The tow rope snapped, yet the engines were started and succesfuly arrived at Haifa.
''Isis'' struck a mine and sank off the Normandy beaches on 20 July 1944.
