Editing L and M-class destroyer (section)

===M class===

The '''M Class''' were built under the 1939 Naval Estimates.  They served in the Home Fleet until 1944 and then went to the Mediterranean. Three were wartime losses; of the five survivors, the ''Musketeer'' was broken up in 1955 and the other four sold to Turkey in 1958.
