 | | HMS Sheffield and Coventry were lost in the Falklands War to enemy action, this war being the only time in history where two surface warships of the same design have been on opposite sides. |
 | | The Type 42 began as an original, lighter-design to complement the heavier Bristol (Type 82) air defence cruisers, proposed to give protection for the proposed CVA-01 carrier. |
 | | The first six Type 45s; HMS Daring, Dauntless, Defender, Dragon, Duncan and Diamond have been ordered, with a further two due to be ordered later in the decade. |
