the Seafire barely encountered the Zero, because 2/3rds of the British carrier wing was Martlets or Corsairs, and the Sea Hurricane was preferred over the Seafire as it could withstand more carrier deck landings
I'm still looking for a good book detailing the Spitfire vs Zero duels over Darwin. in many ways it was the "real" baptism of fire for the RAAF as a force, rather than as contributions to the Empire.

the Daring class was designed during WW2 and built towards the very end so what with one thing and another, it didn't see much actual combat
even destroyers took 2 years to fully build and fit out
