Question

What design could underpin six Canadian Thelon-class destroyers entering service in 1967 in the Against All Odds alternate-history setting?

Short answer

The British County class is suggested as the contemporary basis, bringing Sea Slug with it. Bristol is considered too late.

Notes

The Against All Odds alternate-history setting includes these hypothetical ships serving between 1967 and 2005. For a destroyer based on a British ship being built in the relevant period, the County class is the suggested match. Bristol is considered briefly and rejected as too late for that starting point. Choosing the County design would also bring its Sea Slug missile system into the scenario.
