A "Bangor Class" minesweeper Pennant No. J00  built at Govan. She was ordered on 12th July 1939, laid down on 19th September 1939, launched on 23rd May 1940, commissioned on 29th October 1940 and completed on 4th November 1940.
 
She was allocated to the 9th Minesweeping Flotilla, Orkney and Shetland Command based on Scapa and left the Clyde on 18th November 1940.
 
In May 1945 the Bangor was involved in minesweeping Operations to Norway and in June was one of five "Bangor" Class minesweepers offered to the Royal Norwegian Navy on loan. She was transferred on the 11th November 1945.
 
In October the Norwegian government decided to retain the Bangor by purchase and was renamed the KNM Glomma (M309).
