The surviving Tribal and Daring destroyers

A book aside identifies the surviving Tribal- and Daring-class museum ships and notes the apparent loss of every Battle-class destroyer.

Notes

A brief publishing aside places the Tribal, Battle, and Daring classes within the Royal Navy's modern destroyer development. HMCS Haida in Canada is the last surviving Tribal-class destroyer, and HMAS Vampire in Australia is the last surviving Daring-class destroyer. No Battle-class destroyer appears to survive, though old warships can occasionally persist in unexpected places. These two museum ships offer concrete starting points for exploring the wider Commonwealth destroyer story.
