Discover our Royal Navy A Class Destroyers photo prints, featuring the first full class of destroyers built for the Royal Navy after the Great War. Completed in 1930, the eight ships of the class, Acasta, Achates, Active, Antelope, Anthony, Ardent, Arrow and the flotilla leader Codrington, set the pattern for the British destroyers that followed them through the 1930s, with four 4.7 inch guns and eight torpedo tubes. They fought hard in the Second World War: Acasta and Ardent were lost defending HMS Glorious against Scharnhorst and Gneisenau off Norway in June 1940, and Achates was sunk at the Battle of the Barents Sea on the last day of 1942 while screening her convoy. Available as high-quality photo prints or premium framed prints, they are perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of Royal Navy history.
