HMS Tenacious (R45) was a T-class destroyer of the Royal Navy that saw service during the Second World War. She was built by Cammell Laird, of Birkenhead and launched on 24 March 1943. She was later converted to a Type 16 fast anti-submarine frigate, with the new pennant number F44. Tenacious was sold for scrapping in 1965. A book that described the ship's actions in World War II, H.M.S. Tenacious: Her Story was printed by Richard Clay and Company and contained a poem about the ship, The Roger Forty-Five and listed the crew who served on her between August 1943 and April 1946.
