Hi Michael,

Daring was first launched at Scotstoun,
then it was Dauntless,Diamond.
Dragon is on the slipway at Govan at the moment,due to be launched November,next up will be Duncan which will be the last.

The launch of Daring was fantastic as you had a full view of all the proceedings on the river, check here for all my pics of the launch.

Michael,

HMS Daring will be the first to be accepted by the Royal Navy,I believe officially they do not become HMS until all sea trials are over.
