Class membership

[edit]

Was she not a member of the Weapon Class, not S Class? Jim Whitaker (talk) 08:27, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. S-class. There are some errors in this article - specifically the template data for the flotilla leader being applied to the rest of the class - but the classification itself is not a mistake. All of the late-war Weapon class (mostly cancelled) were named after weapons apart from the last two - Tomahawk was renamed Scorpion after this Scorpion left RN service (but not sure why they called it that).
