C and D class destroyers[edit]
_CT-284.jpg)
HMS Duncan finally got promoted a few hours ago so I present these two classes of British destroyers built in the early 1930s. Kempenfelt and Duncan were the flotilla leaders for each class and are listed first, the rest are alphabetical. All of the C-class ships were sold to Canada in the late 1930s as they were only a half-strength flotilla and did not work well as a tactical unit in the British system. A number of the ships survived World War II, but the survivors were scrapped after the end of the war. The British retained the D-class and most were sunk during the war, including one by a collision with a British battleship. The worn-out survivors were also scrapped after war's end.
Before I built the book for this topic, is there a problem using the template for ship names, forex {{HMS|Kempenfelt|I18|6}}, rather than the more traditional, if lengthier, style of link?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:26, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- Books are exceedingly fragile. As far as I know, you can't use the special template, you have to use the traditional method or when a request to convert to PDF et. al. is made, the request will just break. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:09, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Support The GAN page has been clogged lately with these babies, happy to see them promoted. I'd suggest taking the class to FA after the unified GT gets promoted, but that's your choice. Buggie111 (talk) 01:15, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- Support - Excellent work on these articles, Sturm. Parsecboy (talk) 11:50, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- Support But why are the C and D Class combined and not two separate topics? Makes me wonder why the A and B Class are not included. Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:26, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
- Dunno, but the class articles for C and D, E and F, G and H are combined which is generally OK as there were very few changes in the designs between them.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:29, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
- Support Very comprehensive and complete. Glimmer721 talk 23:38, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
- Closed with consensus to promote. - GamerPro64 22:00, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
