Question

Which Tribal-class destroyer scored the most torpedo hits during World War II?

Short answer

HMS Sikh and another Cape Bon destroyer are suggested, with no firmly established single winner.

Notes

HMS Sikh and another destroyer at Cape Bon are proposed as the leading candidates. The suggestion rests on a recollection that both scored full-salvo torpedo hits against Italian ships. No comparative totals are supplied, leaving the ranking tentative. A follow-up about Narvik turns to the different engagement ranges and the British reliance on guns there.
