HMS Daring (D05) was a member of the Daring-class destroyers. Built on the Tyne by Swan, Hunter, and Wigham Richardson, HMS Daring was designed by the Wallsend Slipway & Engineering Company and served as the lead ship of her class. She was laid down on September 29, 1945, and launched on August 10, 1949, by Mrs Leonard Hall, the First Lord of the Admiralty, George Hall's, daughter-in-law. As the sixth ship bearing her name in the British Navy, she was first put into service on February 3, 1952. After serving five commissions, HMS Daring was put into reserve in December 1968 and eventually sold for scrap in 1971.

Introduced in Update "La Royale", HMS Daring is similar to HMS Diana, as members of the same class of destroyers. Compared to other destroyers, she is significantly larger, as she was built for far-reaching operations. Still, HMS Daring was not protected by armour. This substantially increases the risk of ammunition detonation during battles, especially since her ammunition rack is located above the waterline. Players need to keep a certain distance from the enemy to avoid being targeted.
