What would Admiral Henderson's proposed large destroyers have looked like?
Short answerThey would resemble Tribal-class destroyers but carry more torpedoes and roughly eight 4.5-inch dual-purpose guns.
NotesThe comparison places the ship between a gun-heavy fleet destroyer and a better-balanced torpedo platform. Its 4.5-inch dual-purpose battery would also give the design a stronger answer to aircraft than a purely surface-focused armament.
