The formal list briefly gives way to the harder personal choice among several Royal Navy destroyers. HMCS Haida and HMAS Vampire survive as representatives of the Tribal and Daring classes, while no Battle-class destroyer remains. Tartar, Ashanti, Nubian, and Eskimo each have service records that would reward museum treatment. Ashanti's association with the Gold Coast and the unusual amphibious-warfare work connected with Tartar show how these destroyers could interpret colonial relationships, operations, and institutional experimentation as well as ship design.
