Question

What destroyer class best fits between the 1944 G class and the Daring class?

Short answer

The Weapon class is the closest built intermediate design; the proposed 1944 G class was canceled and the F class belongs to an earlier generation.

Notes

The proposed F class in the question does not fit the familiar 1930s F-class destroyers. The 1944 G class was canceled, and the Weapon class is the suggested practical bridge to the Darings. Weapons were slightly smaller in standard displacement than the 2,000-ton G-class proposal, although some were actually completed.
