Where British destroyer design might go without wartime economic damage

Without the Second World War damaging the economy, where might Royal Navy destroyer construction go after the last pre-war designs?

Probably toward some larger ships, though the navy's design cycle could still swing back toward smaller destroyers.

Without the Second World War's economic disruption, the last pre-war destroyer designs might have been followed by somewhat larger ships. The Royal Navy repeatedly alternated between larger and smaller destroyer concepts, however. The counterfactual is therefore a continuation of experimentation rather than a straight line toward ever-increasing displacement. Institutional design habits limit simple projections from peacetime wealth.
