What made the Daring class a capable destroyer

How did the Daring class compare with the Tribal class?

The larger Daring paired modern radar with powerful guns, torpedoes, anti-aircraft weapons, and Squid for a much more integrated postwar capability.

The Daring class's official displacement, speed, and endurance provide a starting point for comparison, although endurance changes with cruising speed. British ships used Foster Wheeler boilers and Parsons turbines, while the Australian ships used English Electric machinery; both were rated at 54,000 shaft horsepower against the Tribals' 44,000. The fit included six quick-firing 4.5-inch guns, extensive radar, ten torpedo tubes, anti-aircraft weapons, and a Squid anti-submarine mortar. Postwar destroyer capability came from an integrated weapons-and-sensor system rather than a single headline statistic.
