HMS Blean (L47) was a Type III Hunt class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was named after the Blean Beagles Hunt at the village of Blean just north of Canterbury. Built at Hebburn-on-Tyne by Hawthorn Leslie, she was launched on 15 January 1942 and commissioned on 23 August. Escorting British convoy KMF-4 off the Algerian coast, she was intercepted by U-443 on 11 December 1942 11 miles north-west of Oran. The U-boat aimed one torpedo against her and then one against the convoy, but both hit Blean and sank her off the coast, with the loss of 89 men.
