  Daring class destroyer (1949) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Daring class were an eight-ship class of destroyers of the Royal Navy (RN) that were laid down during and after World War II, though like many other classes, their construction was halted for quite a while, indeed, the Darings were not commissioned until the 1950s.
The Darings were the largest destroyers then built at that time for the RN, at 390 ft (119 m), compared to the Battles at 379 ft (116 m), their predecessor, as-well as a full load displacement of 3,820 t which eclipsed the Battles 3,430 t.
The Darings received little modernisation during their time in the RN, and so, in the 1970s, all ships in RN service were decommissioned.

The destroyers (as well as frigates) are, as always, the workhorses of the fleet, the former being optimised for air defence and the latter for surface and subsurface warfare.

Elliott initially stigmatized the blue-eyed White children in her third-grade class as criminally inferior and subjected them to abuse by the brown-eyed White children.
Then, in the second stage of her exercise, she reversed the hierarchy, with blue-eyed Whites becoming the preferred group, encouraged to abuse brown-eyed Whites just as they had been abused in the first stage.
Jane Elliott's grand idea was that the White children in her class should be forced to become both racial tormentors and racial victims, and that they should learn how the suffering they experienced as victims had been based on an insignificant physical feature, eye color, over which they had no control.
