I believe that the B-class destroyer article be merged into this one as the B-class ships were essentially repeats of the A class. This will match how our other existing class articles are organized for the British interwar intermediate destroyers (G and H-class destroyer, E and F-class destroyer, etc.) and follow how some sources, like Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1922–46, organize their coverage.Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:02, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge. If the classes were similar in everything but name, then they should be one page.Llammakey (talk) 22:25, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge - there is very little difference between the classes as built - basically boiling down to the B-class being fitted with Sonar and better depth charge armament and A-class having minesweeping equipment, with the A-class having a larger flotilla leader. The two classes were effectively variants of the same design, and the differences between them disappeared by World War II anyway.Nigel Ish (talk) 14:34, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support merge: There has been no opposition in 8 days and consensus for merge. If the two articles can be merged with a result like the "E and F-class destroyer" article I would say this would be a major improvement. Otr500 (talk) 09:18, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
