Would the larger fleet prevent Tribal-class bow losses?

Would the Tribal-class destroyers avoid many of their bow losses in this timeline?

Probably not, since most occurred before 1942, although a different outcome at Crete could alter one stern loss.

Most Tribal-class bow losses would probably still occur in this counterfactual. Most happened before 1942. A different campaign at Crete could alter one casualty, although that ship lost her stern rather than her bow.
