Hms Bayonet was a British boom defence vessel stationed in Leith Roads, Firth of Forth, during World War II. It was lost in 1939, likely due to wartime activity, though no lives or significant cargo were reported lost; its significance lies in its role as part of coastal defences during the early years of the war.
