Why do you say HMS carron was a frigate when it was launched in 1944 as a c class destroyer which I served on?
Although I do not know the exact context in which the question arose, it might very well have arisen from a simple confusion between HMS CARRON (D30) and the fact that the despatch vessel HMS SURPRISE started life as an order for HMS LOCH CARRON which was changed subsequently to HMS GERRANS BAY and then completed as SURPRISE.

What is the difference between a destroyer and a destroyer escort?
I served in the Australian Navy in the 1960s and early 70s. Destroyers became bigger ships after WW11. When I 1st joined HMAS Derwent, she was a Type 12 frigate. After we got our American built Charles F. Adams destroyers, our type 12 frigates were re-designated as destroyer escorts. The Type 12s,or Whitby class to give them their original name, were around 2,500 tons. Bigger than a lot of WW11 destroyers. The Charles F.Adams Class were over 5000 tons. In WW11 and prior to that they would have ben designated as cruisers. I believe the different names simply indicate larger and smaller destroyers. Allen Lyne ex-POUC, RAN
