Personally I've always preferred the STYLISH VENDETTA, after her modernization....very handsome. So much so that when I built my tiny series of 8 1950s DDs, I built her as my DARING. ;)

I have had the privilege of touring HMCS Vampire in Sydney, Australia in 2017 and she was in excellent condition as a museum ship.
