	C class destroyer (1943) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The C class was a class of 32 destroyers of the Royal Navy that were launched from 1943 to 1945.
		The class was built in four flotillas of 8 vessels, the Ca, Ch, Co and Cr classes, ordered as the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th Emergency Flotillas respectively.
		The Ca flotilla were generally repeats of the preceding W and Z class, while the Ch, Co and Cr flotillas had quadruple instead of pentuple torpedo tubes to compensate for the added weight of remote power control (RPC) gunlaying equipment.

		US Navy reserve fleet for ninety nine year lease of six Caribbean Islands, these old destroyers were really past their best and many spent a lot of time in repair yards with constant breakdowns.
