While probably shouting into the void, please don't make this about the current conflict.

That note done: Today's video will look at HMS Myngs, later transferred to Egypt as ENS El-Qaher. This destroyer joined her sister, Zenith/El-Fateh, for the first few years in Egypt. However, where Zenith would last until the 2010s before being scrapped...

Myngs would only last until 1970. At which point she became the victim of an air strike by supersonic aircraft. Certainly nothing that her designers could ever have planned for.

Although, as she was ambushed in port, it might not have mattered much if they had.
