General Characteristics and Role
The HMS Cavalier (R73 / D73) was a C-class (Ca-class) destroyer of the Royal Navy (RN) and is the last remaining British World War II-era destroyer, preserved as a museum ship. It was designed for fleet escort and anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Her class was an adaptation of the pre-war J-class destroyer hull, benefiting from partial welding which contributed to its impressive speed. The ship is famous for winning the 1971 “Cock o’ the Fleet” race against the frigate HMS Rapid, proving her exceptional machinery performance even late in her service life.
