Warship locomotives were divided into two batches: those built at BR's Swindon works were numbered in the series D800-D832 and D866-D870, [1] had a maximum tractive effort of 52,400 pounds-force (233,000 N) and eventually became British Rail Class 42. 33 others, D833–D865, were constructed by the North British Locomotive Company and became ...

The NBL-built D800s were withdrawn before their Class 42 sisters, themselves doomed to a short life because of the decision to standardise on diesel-electric transmission for mainline locomotives. None have survived into preservation. Many of the names were later allocated to Class 50 locomotives, which were also named after British warships.
The British Transport Commission, later British Railways, used engine power output to categorise its requirements for the new main line diesel locomotive fleet following the 1955 modernisation plan. The locomotives built and put into service are listed below classified with the TOPS class numbers that were introduced in the early 1970s.
