  Destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modern destroyers are equivalent in tonnage but drastically superior in firepower to cruisers of the World War II era, capable of carrying nuclear missiles able to destroy cities in a very small volley.
Destroyers (with a DD hull classification symbol) primarily perform anti-submarine warfare duty while guided missile destroyers (DDGs) are multi-mission (anti-submarine, anti-aircraft, and anti-surface warfare) surface combatants.
The destroyers (as well as frigates) are, as always, the workhorses of the fleet, the former optimised for air defence and the latter for surface and subsurface warfare.

 Iroquois class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iroquois-class destroyers are a class of four helicopter-carrying destroyers of the Canadian Navy.
There was some work on a replacement design, known to Navy-watchers as the Province-class destroyers, but this was confined largely to studies of a much-improved phased array radar system being developed for the Dutch and Germans, known as APAR.

 Algonquin, WPG-75   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The cutter Algonquin was named for one of the most populous and widespread North American Native groups, with tribes originally numbering in the hundreds and speaking several related dialects.
Algonquin was then engaged in ice breaking in the Skov Fjord throughout March, 1944.
At the end of the month an inspection showed that all four propeller blades were bent and she was docked until 16 April awaiting the arrival of a new propeller.
