Recherche, Ranger class
Introduced into service primarily as anti-submarine escorts for RRN aircraft carriers and as a general purpose destroyer to replace elderly WW2 designs. An extensive build program was planned but the onset of guided missiles curtailed this and in the end just 8 vessels were completed, but they went on to see varied use and proved to be versatile ships receiving significant modifications throughout their service lives.
