United Kingdom Nomination Thread

I'll try and keep mine as short as possible as this is the category I could make a long list for. Just picking half a dozen solid destroyer leaders would be no problem.

Work in progress:

DDs: Well where to start? I for one hope we see more than a token gesture of ONE unit for this set as the choices demand it and we have more than a well stocked selection of big units already. Hard to rank these as well.

1. HMS Faulkner - Destroyer leader. Arguably the best balanced DD type going into the war for various actions/duties. Full action packed war service. New class.
2. HMS Onslow - Destroyer leader. VC action Barents Sea. Mid war class DD to bring us up towards Saumerez we got and more worthy for History sake than Barfleur, which came too early in the selection process IMO. New class.
3. HMS Hardy - Destroyer leader. VC action Narvik. Other famous unit of the time alongside Glowworm. New class. - Kiss me Hardy!
4. HMS Foxhound - Full action packed war service as well as being known as the go between boat at Oran. New class.
5. HMS Hotspur - Full action packed war service. New class.

Personally I'd like to see a DD leader and then another stalwart pick besides.

Other leaders could have been added like Grenville (II), Pakenham (Which for its short time in service had arguably the best equipment fit and selected crew aboard), Lafforey (which was lost with one of the best DD captains aboard as well as sterling service up to then). I have seen Kelly mentioned a couple of times but put simply this is not worthy of a pick in front of the half a dozen destroyer leaders in front of it. It was a Jonah of a ship handled poorly for the most part and recipient of considerable scorn/ridicule from the rest of the destroyer fleet. I have read a lot of memoirs touching on this and it was unfairly put on a pedestal because of its captain. Jervis (which I have not shortlisted above simply because I'd prefer a new DD leader class type) was the most obvious affected by this, being its overlooked sister ship class type DD leader. If in doubt RESEARCH!

Aircraft: (Coastal command) Whitley MK.VII, Lancaster lookalike with two engines. On the front cover of the recent osprey book covering Condors and shooting one down.

Others:

HMS Rorqual - According to wiki the most successful mine laying sub of the war and the UK needs a sub with mines. Simple! Only one of its class to survive. New class.
HMS Starling - It's quite surprising really we haven't had this yet considering the who. what's & why's. Who? Johnnie Walker, say no more. What? Most famous of a very successful unrepresented class. Why? Stalwart pack leader that led the way in hunting down 14 U-boats.
HMS Cairo - Give us another of the 'valiant quartet' of c class AA cruisers. All are worthy and we've had multiple US Atlanta types.
HMS Audacity - Important stop gap and busy in its short period. Eric 'Winkle' Brown survived its sinking to go and achieve what he did. I'd be happy if this light carrier was the largest UK pick of the deck! New Class.

HMS Springbank/HMS Maplin - CAM ship type's with a Hurricat!
A dedicated UK Fleet tanker (RFA or whatever) to boost slow rolls. Macoma was not dedicated and anyway Dutch.

For now and that's a short list!
