Pindos (Greek: ΒΠ Πίνδος) was a Type III Hunt-class destroyer that was originally built for the British Royal Navy as HMS Bolebroke but never commissioned. Before her completion, she was transferred to the Royal Hellenic Navy and commissioned on 27 June 1942 as Pindos in order to relieve heavy losses of ships sustained by the Royal Hellenic Navy during the German invasion of 1941. Pindos served in the Mediterranean Theatre throughout the Second World War. On 22 August 1943, along with HMS Easton, she sank the German U-boat U-458 off Pantelleria. Konstantinos Engolfopoulos served as executive officer during this period.

The crew of the Pindos were involved in the 1944 Greek naval mutiny. They elected a Revolutionary Commission and circulated a petition demanding that the Greek government-in-exile be expanded to include members of the Revolutionary committee of the National Liberation Front (EAM).[1]

Pindos served during the Greek Civil War, was returned to the Royal Navy in 1959 and broken up for scrap in Greece in 1960.[2]
