A lengthened Daring could carry another twin gun mount, but the requirement for the additional firepower remains open.

Question

Short answer

Yes, the extension is considered feasible, but the purpose of the additional firepower would need to be explained.

Notes

An enlarged Daring-class destroyer could accommodate another twin 4.5-inch mount. The extra firepower is considered technically feasible, but its intended task remains unexplained. A design that can carry more guns still needs an operational reason for doing so.
