HMS Daring (D05)

HMS "Daring" was the nameship of the Daring class of destroyers authorised in 1944. Between 1953 and 1957 they were reclasified as 'Darings' and not included in the destroyer total, but from October 1957 they reverted to classification as destroyers.

"Daring" was built by Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson on the Tyne and engined by the Wallsend Slipway & Engineering Company. She was laid down on 29 September 1945; launched on 10 August 1949; and completed on 8 March 1952. She was the sixth ship of her name in the Royal Navy.

Power was provided by Parsons steam turbines giving 54,000 shp and a maximum sea speed of 30.5 knots. Three 6RPHZ Paxman's generators provided electrical supplies.
