LONDON - Britain's Royal Navy floated a wreath Saturday over the recently discovered wreck of a World War II destroyer that went down with 110 men on board in a battle with Nazi forces.    The HMS Hunter was discovered this month by a Norwegian minehunter participating in exercises with British, Dutch and other NATO warships off the Norwegian coast, Britain's Defense Ministry said.    The 2,100-ton destroyer went down on April 10, 1940, as the Royal Navy tried to keep German forces from overrunning the strategic Norwegian port.    About 1,00 British, Norwegian and Dutch military officials honored the ship's dead during a ceremony which featured ships sailing past the site of the sunken destroyer in a line and a wreath beking floated above the wreck. _________________ Staff Moderator Company XO   M.S.T.
