HMS Daring and HMS Decoy together made up the Daring class of torpedo boat destroyers which served with the Royal Navy during the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. On trial she made headlines as the ‘Fastest Boat Ever’. The introduction of steam turbines after 1897 quickly made her and her sisters obsolete and she was sold off in 1912.
HMS Electra was a one of nine E-class destroyers built for the
Royal Navy during the 1930s. Sunk in the Battle of the Java Sea, Electra
was a witness to many naval battles, including the Battle of the
Denmark Strait and the sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse.
