Australia:
N class destroyer HMAS Nizam (G38) in 1944.
On 11 February, 1945 in a position twelve miles off Cape Leeuwin Light and while altering course, the ship struck a freak wave and rolled very heavily, 75 to 80 degrees, to port and 10 ratings were lost overboard. This accident occurred at ten o'clock at night with the wind at nearly gale force. The ship circled for a long period but no sign of any survivor was seen

Portugal
1930s
Destroyer NRP Lima
The Vouga class destroyers were armed with 4 Vickers Armstrong Mk G 4.7inch/50 pieces, more powerful than the 4.7inch/45 of British destroyers (and most European destroyers of the time).

Side note to the photoset above: Dad was a machinists mate on the light carrier, USS Corregidor for a tour. He spoke of watching torpedomen tuning magnetic aerial torpedoes by waving something metallic in front of it to make sure the vanes moved properly. He let on it wasn't a comfortable feeling.
