Keith Class (1931) DD |
|
| The
Keith Class was a single ship class of destroyers. HMS Keith was the
destroyer leader for the 1928 destroyer construction programme, the
B Class
(1931) DD. The RN destroyer flotilla organisation at the time called for a group of destroyers to be designed, ordered and built as a single group of eight ships. That group on completion to form a single destroyer flotilla. Which would have one destroyer leader, whose Captain (D) would command the flotilla. The destroyer leader had slightly greater displacement to allow the increased complement and working space needed to control the flotilla.
