Patrol vessel A4 (French: Patrouilleur A4) was a small Mersey class operated by Belgium during the Second World War. Originally built for the British Royal Navy, as HMS John Ebbs, the ship is notable for its role in evacuating Belgian gold reserves to England during the Battle of Belgium in May 1940. The success of the operation not only allowed the Belgian government in exile to fund its operations but deprived the German occupiers of an important asset to support their war effort. After the Belgian surrender, the vessel and its crew interned themselves in neutral Spain. Both crew and vessel were released in 1946 and A4 was scrapped soon afterwards.

  • Lo A4 (Patrouilleur A4) fu un piccolo che operava nel Belgio durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Originariamente costruito per la Royal Navy britannica, come HMS John Ebbs, la nave si distinse per il suo ruolo nell'evacuare le riserve d'oro del Belgio in Inghilterra durante l'invasione tedesca del Belgio nel maggio 1940. Il successo dell'operazione non solo permise al governo in esilio del Belgio di finanziare le proprie attività, ma privò gli occupanti tedeschi di una risorsa importante per sostenere il loro sforzo bellico. Dopo la resa del Belgio, la nave e l'equipaggio s'internarono nella Spagna neutrale. Nel 1946, la nave e l'equipaggio vennero rilasciati e la nave venne disarmata subito dopo. (it)
