Daring Class DD (SF-2NA)

+paulopanz · April 2, 2012

The Daring class was a class of eleven destroyers built for the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

Constructed after World War II, and entering service during the 1950s, eight ships were constructed for the RN

(HMS Daring (D05), HMS Dainty (D108), HMS Diamond (D35), HMS Defender (D114), HMS Decoy (D106), HMS Diana (D126),

HMS Duchess (D154),HMS Delight (D119)) and three ships for the RAN (HMAS Vampire (D11), HMAS Voyager (D04),

HMAS Vendetta (D08)).

Two of the RN destroyers were subsequently sold to and served in the Peruvian Navy (MGP).

HMS Diana (D126) was BAP Palacios (DM-73) and HMS Decoy (D106) BAP Ferré (DM-74).

They had some modifications as 4 Exocet.

HMS Duchess (D154) was sold to Australia after HMAS Voyager (D04) sunk colliding with HAMS Melbourne.

A further eight ships were planned for the RN but were cancelled before construction commenced, while a fourth

RAN vessel was begun but was cancelled before launch and broken up on the slipway.

As userlist function isn't well experimented for ships I made 3 different classes by nation.

A later RAN skin with USS style numbers is included but StartDefaultDate entry seems not implemented.

The Peruvian ships Exocets missiles could be added later if someone with max files wiil do the job.
