Battle and Weapon class destroyers compared

Which Royal Navy destroyer builds were the best and worst?

The Battle class is the likely best choice. No wartime class is called truly bad, although the Weapon class is the hardest to justify despite a personal affection for it.

The Battle class is probably the strongest Royal Navy destroyer design in the comparison, although it arrived late. No wartime class is dismissed as outright bad. The Weapon class is the hardest to justify, despite a stated personal affection for it. That qualification preserves the difference between design judgment and preference.
