Type 44 Destroyer

Has anything further surfaced about this class?

I'm asking for purely selfish reasons. I'm reading an e-book I picked up recently and the author has character state that the ship in it is a Type 44 destroyer.

As there's no clear description of the ship in the book other than it's an older RN unit reactivated as a training ship, I have to assume he has this rather obscure unbuilt class in mind rather than something else.

A clear set of stats dating from around the cancellation would be nice, an artists impression would be even better.

How can an unbuilt class be reactivated as a training ship? Actual destroyers were used: Kent (County) and Bristol (T82).

The unbuilt T44 is covered in some detail here

This is a typical airport thriller with bad cover art. Will not waste any more time on this thread.
