Question: HMS "Manchester" was which class of fourteen light guided missile destroyers that served in the Royal Navy, destroyer in the 5th Destroyer Squadron of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy?
Context: The Type 42 or "Sheffield" class, was a class of fourteen light guided missile destroyers that served in the Royal Navy.  A further two ships of this class were built for and served with the Argentine Navy. The 18 "Forrest Sherman"-class destroyers were the first US post-war destroyers (DD-927 to DD-930 were completed as destroyer leader configurations).  Commissioned beginning in 1955, these ships served until the late 1980s.  Their weaponry underwent considerable modification during their years of service.  Four were converted to guided missile destroyers.  This class also served as the basis for the "Charles F. Adams"-class guided missile destroyer. USS "Mustin" (DDG-89) is an "Arleigh Burke"-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy.  She is named in honor of the Mustin family who has devoted nearly a century of U.S. Naval service.  This ship is the 39th destroyer of its class.  USS "Mustin" was the 18th ship of this class to be built at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and construction began on 15 January 2001.  She was launched on 12 December 2001 and was christened on 15 December 2001.  On 26 July 2003, a twilight ceremony was held at the Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California.  She is part of Destroyer Squadron 15, based at Yokosuka, Japan. The "Charles F. Adams" class is a ship class of 29 guided missile destroyers built between 1958 and 1967.  Twenty three destroyers were built for the United States Navy, three for the Royal Australian Navy, and three for the West German "Bundesmarine".  The design of these ships was based on that of "Forrest Sherman"-class destroyer s, but the "Charles F. Adams" class were the first class designed to serve as guided missile destroyers.  19 ft of length was added to the center of the design of the "Forrest Sherman" class to carry the ASROC launcher.  The "Charles F. Adams"-class destroyers were the last steam turbine-powered destroyers built for the U.S. Navy.  Starting with the later "Spruance"-class destroyer s, all U.S. Navy destroyers have been powered by gas turbines.  Some of the destroyers of the "Charles F. Adams" class served during the blockade of Cuba in 1962 and during the Vietnam War. The "Mitscher"-class destroyer was an experimental destroyer class of four ships that were built for the United States Navy shortly after World War II.  Considerably larger than all previous destroyers, they would have been the first post-war destroyer class had they not been reclassified during construction as destroyer leaders (DL).  Commissioned in 1953-1954, two of the class served until 1969, and were scrapped in the 1970s.  The other two were converted into guided missile destroyers (DDG), served until 1978, and were sold for scrap by 1980. USS "Wayne E. Meyer" (DDG-108) is an "Arleigh Burke"-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy.  She is named after Rear Admiral Wayne E. Meyer, who is known as the Father of Aegis.  The ship is part of Destroyer Squadron 1 of Carrier Strike Group One which is currently headed by the "Nimitz"-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier  .  "Wayne E. Meyer" is the 58th destroyer in her class.  She carries the 100th AEGIS Weapon System to be delivered to the United States Navy. The Type 45 destroyer, also known as the D or "Daring" class, is an advanced class of six guided missile destroyers built for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy.  The class is primarily designed for anti-aircraft and anti-missile warfare and is built around the PAAMS (Sea Viper) air-defence system utilizing the SAMPSON AESA and the S1850M long-range radars.  The first three destroyers were assembled by BAE Systems Surface Fleet Solutions from partially prefabricated "blocks" built at different shipyards, the remaining three were built by BAE Systems Maritime – Naval Ships.  The first ship in the "Daring" class, HMS "Daring", was launched on 1 February 2006 and commissioned on 23 July 2009. HMS "Manchester" was a Type 42 (Batch 3) destroyer in the 5th Destroyer Squadron of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy.  She was laid down in 1978 at Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering, launched in 1980, commissioned in 1982, and decommissioned on 24 February 2011. The Farragut"-class destroyer was a group of 10 guided missile destroyers built for the United States Navy (USN) during the 1950s.  They were the second destroyer class to be named for Admiral David Farragut.  The class is sometimes referred to as the Coontz" class, since "Coontz" was first to be designed and built as a guided missile ship, whereas the previous three ships were designed as all-gun units and converted later. HMS "Hampshire" was a County-class destroyer of the Royal Navy.  Laid down, in March 1959 a couple of weeks behind the class leader "Devonshire" , she was classified as a guided missile destroyer, as the Sea Lords regarded the concept of the cruiser and big gun ship as discredited by the perceived failure of the "Tiger" class and the obsolescence of the heavy gun.  The description of guided missile destroyer seemed more likely to win approval from the Treasury and Government for an adequate number of warships the size of small cruisers, which could play many traditional cruiser flagship and command functions, but had no armour around its gun and missile magazine.
