HMCS Haida in Hamilton is identified as the last surviving Tribal-class destroyer, with a hull that can resemble a cruiser's from a distance. Vampire in Sydney is presented as the last surviving Daring-class ship. Beside a pre-World War II destroyer, her size and form make the comparison with a light cruiser especially apparent. These preserved ships show the growth in scale and changes in appearance that accompanied the destroyer's broader fighting role.
