Could another navy's destroyers survive Typhoon Cobra?

Would Royal Navy destroyers have handled Typhoon Cobra better than the US destroyers that sank?

Probably not by nationality alone; larger later destroyers from either navy might fare better, but every design would suffer in such conditions.

The American losses included Fletcher-class destroyers operating with serious fuel and stability problems. Nationality alone gives no basis for claiming that a British design would escape the storm's effects. Some larger later destroyers might possess better bows and greater reserve buoyancy, but comparable American ships would share that advantage. Displacement, loading, and seakeeping matter more here than national reputation.
