Ships of The Class
Eight vessels were built, in two batches between 1959 and 1970, the later four vessels carrying the improved Sea Slug GWS2 and updated electronics requiring rearranged mastheads. The major identifying feature was the prominent "double bedstead" AKE-2 antennas of the Type 965 air-search radar and a taller foremast carrying the Type 992Q low-angle search radar on Batch 2.

To whirl in tall buildings.

And on land, soldiers
And policemen.”
