Editing V and W-class destroyer (section)

==Design==
The new design, originally known as the Admiralty V-class leader, incorporated all these improvements, and also a more sensible layout of the main armament, the amidships gun between the funnels being removed to the aft shelter deck, [[superfiring]] over the gun on the [[quarterdeck]]. This introduced the ubiquitous "A", "B", "X", "Y" layout for the main armament. New developments, such as [[Fire-control system|director firing]] for the main armament, triple torpedo tubes and a heavier armament were introduced either from the outset, or as they became available. Ships with triple tubes became the Admiralty W class and those with their armament upgraded to the [[BL 4.7 inch /45 naval gun|BL 4.7&nbsp;in gun]] became Admiralty Modified W-class ships.
