Marne was part of Convoy PQ 15 and along with Martin, helped to rescue 169 survivors from Punjabi after she was sunk in a collision with the battleship King George V.
The destroyer depot ships Hecla and Vindictive with the escort ships Venomous and Marne, were part of a convoy as part of Operation Torch west of Gibraltar. On 12 November 1942 the German submarine U-515 torpedoed and sunk Hecla, and minutes later fired two more torpedoes and badly damaged Marne, blowing off her stern. Michael Flanders, who was to become a famous actor and writer, was serving on board as part of the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve
Turkish Navyedit
Following the Second World War Marne, along with three other ships of the same class, was transferred to the Turkish Navy as part of an agreement signed at Ankara on 16 August 1957. They underwent a refit which involved the removal of the after set of torpedo tubes and some secondary armament. They received a new deckhouse and Squid anti-submarine weapons system. On 29 June 1959 they were handed over at Portsmouth. Marne was renamed Mareşal Fevzi Çakmak, after Fevzi Çakmak (1876–1950), the Turkish Mareşal (Field Marshal) and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces.[1]
The ship remained in service with the Turkish Navy until 1970, when she was discarded and scrapped.
