Note your above list contains a substantial number of errors. The list omits the pre-war batch of Admiralty 'M' Class destroyers that were built under the 1913-14 Programme, of which the Admiralty design units were Matchless, Murrey, Myngs, Milne, Moorsom and Morris (now added to article in correct sequence). The Admiralty-design group were never referred to as Moon Class and it would be incorrect to call them by that name, as the Moon was a Yarrow 'M' class vessel. Rival was certainly built (launched 14 June 1916, and lasted until 1926), but she and Relentless, as well as Miranda, Minos, Manly, Moon, Morning Star, Mounsey, Musketeer and Nerissa were also Yarrow 'M' class vessels and should not appear in this article on Admiralty 'M' class vessels. Similarly the Hawthorn Leslie (Mansfield and Mentor) and Thornycroft (Mastiff, Meteor, Patrician, Patriot, Rapid and Ready) 'M' class vessels should NOT be included in this article on Admiralty 'M' class destroyers.

The list is now revised (a few "begun" and "completed" dates remain to be entered). Rif Winfield 21:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Tables vs. Lists
The first two batches are formatted in tables while the rest is given as lists, are there any reason for this? Otherwise I would format the latter in tables too. Ciao --Pentaclebreaker (talk) 15:56, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
