Following decommissioning, two RN Darings were sold to Peru, which operated one ship until 1993 and the other until 2007. The Daring-class destroyers were in service in the RN and RAN from the 1950s to the 1980s. They were also the last destroyers of the RN and RAN to possess guns as their main armament (instead of guided missiles), which saw use during the Indonesian Confrontation and the Vietnam War. The Daring-class ships were both the largest and most heavily armed ships serving in Commonwealth navies to be classified as destroyers. A further eight ships were planned for the RN but were cancelled before construction commenced, while a fourth RAN vessel was begun but was cancelled before launch and broken up on the slipway. Two of the RN destroyers were subsequently sold to and served in the Peruvian Navy (MGP). Constructed after World War II, and entering service during the 1950s, eight ships were constructed for the RN, and three ships for the RAN.

The Daring class was a class of eleven destroyers built for the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
