Why HMS Nubian stands among the favourite ships

What is your favourite ship, and why?

HMS Nubian is his strongest choice because of her extraordinary service record and the case that she should have been preserved.

There is a top group rather than a single easy favourite, but writing the end of Nubian's story carried particular emotional weight. Few British warships were more deserving of preservation. Her record could rival or exceed Warspite's if destroyer actions were counted on the same basis as battleship battle honours. The answer directs viewers to a ship whose endurance and repeated combat service embody the often undercounted contribution of destroyers.
