I have searched far and wide, but I can't find any trace of HMS Meritorious sinking.

Nor me. Plenty about the Meritorious Medal but no reference of it being related to any ship

There's an HMS Glorious that sank

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Glorious

 

Found this reference to HMS meritorious  -  HMS Meritorious was a British Royal Navy destroyer that served during World War II. It was sunk on June 17, 1940 by German aircrafts in the English Channel. The ship was on a mission to evacuate British troops from the port of St. Valery-en-Caux in France. Unfortunately, the ship was hit by bombs and sank with the loss of 31 crew members.

It's not in this list of Royal Navy ships with names beginning with, "M".
