Editing A- and B-class destroyer (section)

===Canadian ships===
The two Canadian ships (''Saguenay'' and ''Skeena'') were designed to be of a similar performance to the A-class ships to allow them to tactically combine. More [[flare (ship)|flare]] was given to the bow to keep it drier and the forward part of the hull was strengthened to withstand ice. Their metacentric height was increased to allow for the build-up of ice and snow on the upperworks and they were {{convert|3|ft|m|1|spell=in}} shorter than their British counterparts. Although the ships had an additional {{convert|50|LT|t}} of fuel, {{convert|2000|shp|abbr=on}} fewer horsepower and lacked superheaters for their boilers, they had the same range and speed as their brethren of the A and B classes. They displaced {{convert|1337|LT|t}} at standard load and {{convert|1805|LT|t}} at deep load. The ships were built by [[John I. Thornycroft & Company]] in [[Woolston, Hampshire]] and had the broad, slab-sided funnels characteristic of that builder.<ref>English, p. 26; Lenton, pp. 153–154</ref>
