List of destroyer classes of the Royal Navy

|
This is a list of destroyer classes of the Royal Navy.
Royal Navy practice starting from about 1890 (and used seriously from around 1910) has been to allocate class names on an alphabetic basis, with the relevant letters (and in many cases names) being re-used. Sometimes the newer class is known by the name of the first ship completed rather than the letter as an aid to reducing confusion. Since the mid-1960s type numbers have been used instead.
