Abercrombie was an upgraded version of its elder sister ship HMS Roberts. The original main gun turret was a spare from Furious, fitted with two 15-inch Mk.I guns. Other improvements included a larger living space, more artillery reserve and increased engine room as well as deck thickness. Abercrombie was also equipped with four twin 102mm Mk.V dual rapid-fire guns, sixteen British 40mm 2-pounder "pom-pom" cannons and twenty US 20mm Oerlikon guns. In 1943 Abercrombie was awarded Battle Honors for campaigns in the Mediterranean at Sicily and Salerno. Post-war Abercrombie was moored on the River Medway for many years as an accommodation ship and was finally sold for scrap in 1954.
