Greek destroyer Leon

Leon (Greek: ΒΠ Λέων, "Lion") served in the Royal Hellenic Navy from 1912–1941. The ship, along with her three sister ships of Wild Beast-class destroyers Aetos, Ierax and Panthir was ordered from England. They were purchased ready for delivery, each for the sum of £148,000, from the British shipyard Cammell Laird in Birkenhead, when the Balkan Wars seemed likely. These ships had originally been ordered by Argentina; Leon was originally named Tucumán.
