Modifications
1943: Express landed two of its 4.7" guns and its torpedoes in return for 2x1 57/40 AA guns, two more depth charge throwers (for a total of 70 depth charges), and Hedgehog.


The Escapades were completed in 1934-1935. They were versatile ships capable of any fleet duty. Several were modified so that they could be converted to minelayers on 24 hours' notice. Like most British destroyers, their antiaircraft protection was entirely inadequate. This was partially remedied by replacing one of the two quad torpedo tubes with which they were originally equipped with a 3" dual-purpose gun.
