During [[World War I]], Greece belatedly entered the war on the side of the [[Triple Entente]] and, due to Greece's neutrality the four ''Thyella'' class ships were seized by the Allies in October 1916, taken over by the French in November and served in the French Navy 1917-18. By 1918, they were back on escort duty under Greek colors, mainly in the [[Aegean Sea]]. ''Thyella'' saw action in the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922)]]. In [[World War II]], ''Thyella'' saw action and was sunk during the German invasion on April 21, 1941 off [[Vouliagmeni]] near [[Athens]]. ==See also== *[[History of the Hellenic Navy]] {{Thyella class destroyer}} {{coord missing}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Thyella}}
