The Tribal class as an elite within an elite

Were Royal Navy destroyers the best-trained destroyer force of the period?

That ranking is arguable, but the Royal Navy destroyer force uniquely viewed itself as an elite, with Tribal crews forming an even more specialized group.

A definitive ranking of British destroyer training remains arguable, but their unusually strong elite identity is clear in this account. That culture grew from First World War experience and the Harwich Force tradition of taking the fight to the enemy. The Tribals then became a fire-support-focused elite drawn from an already self-consciously elite destroyer service.
