Daring
The last, the largest, and the most advanced torpedo-carrying destroyers of the U.K. Navy, Daring-class ships, evolved from the previous class, Battle. These destroyers carried three 114 mm twin mounts of dual-purpose guns and three 40 mm twin AA machine guns. Upon commissioning, HMS Daring joined the Home Fleet. Between 1952 and 1960, the destroyer took part in campaigns and military exercises and participated in the rescue mission to save the inhabitants of the island of Cephalonia from the consequences of an earthquake.
