Thanks Don. Interesting.
I just had a quick read up on the ship - I am tempted to say perhaps she was "jinxed"!
Aside from the obvious "W" Class connotation, I wonder why they chose this name? I can find nothing regarding this. I am sure they must have been aware of the implications of the name, which actually makes it a strange choice for a ship.
There was only one other "bird" in the 'W' class, 'Waterhen', and in this case as a name for a ship, this makes sense. The other "W" names are a hodgepodge of everything, mainly places.
