How many Tribal destroyers were built, and how many Royal Navy ships survived the war?
Short answerTwenty-seven were built in total and about twenty-three served during the war; four of the Royal Navy's sixteen survived.
NotesThe small class appeared on many fronts because it was used intensively. Twenty-seven ships were built in total, with about twenty-three available during the war, and only four of the Royal Navy's sixteen survived. Tartar, Nubian, Eskimo, and Ashanti were the four survivors. Ashanti's comparatively light damage stands out against the class's broader loss rate.
