	Battle class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle class were destroyers of the British Royal Navy (RN).
		Modern naval architechs feel this is unfair as the role of destroyers had changed since the admiral was a destroyer Captain at the battle of Jutland.
		As early as 1944 it had been suggested that the 1943 Battle class could be fitted with a long range early warning radar fitted to a mast amidships, albeit at the expense of some of the torpedo tubes and AA armament.

	ROBOTECH: Southern Cross Naval Vessels - Battle / Defender (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Battle class heavy cruiser was the workhorse of the fleet of the Armies of the Southern Cross, and also one of the backbones of the Expeditionary Forces, until most of the class was destroyed over Terra in the Second Robotech War.
		However, the lighter Garfish class cruisers, with their large turret, were as or more capable against the Invid as the Battle class, and proposals to refit the still existing vessels and reopen Battle production were turned down, although one ship was refitted as a prototype development.
		The Battle class was represented in the EF with thirty-four vessels, ten of which were sent back to Earth with the Marcus Antonius, or later with the first REF counterattack against the Invid.

	ROBOTECH: Early REF Naval Vessels - Ajax (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first losses for the class occurred in 2030, when all but two vessels of the class folded with the REF relief expedition to Earth and were drafted into the Southern Cross attack waves.
		The other six ships of the class returned to Earth with the main fleet, and were among the ships that brought the REF ground assault force to the planet, landing the force near Reflex Point.
		After the battle (in which the ships did not participate, the REF command being more pragmatic than their SC predecessors), the remaining ships, Ajax, Antietam, Anzio, Ayanami, Aurora and Albion, were mothballed in the Tranquility Sea depot, as no amphibious assaults were expected in the foreseeable future.

	Battle Class Heavy Destroyer
		The Battle class was designed as a compromise: they had to be capable of serving as interstellar war vessels in the Expeditionary Force, but also had to be capable point-defenders in their role as Earth's guardians.
		Proposals to refit the existing Battle class vessels and reopen the production lines for these vessels were not accepted, though more because of the far faster building rate of the Garfish destroyers than because of an unsuited nature of the Battle to modification.
		The Battle destroyers were the backbone of the SC Aerospace Forces, and was an important class for the REF as well.

	Tri-ang Minic Ships - HMAS Tobruk
		The "Battle" Class destroyers comprised two distinct groups the eighteen "Group 1" ships ordered in 1942, which included the two Royal Australian Navy ships HMAS Anzac and HMAS Tobruk, and the twenty six "Group 2" ships ordered in 1943 of which only ten ships were commissioned between 1946 and 1947.
		The "Battle" Class ships were originally designed with a view to operations in the Pacific during the Second World War and were unusual in being the first destroyers to have all of their main armament mounted forward.
		The company also produced models of two British Group 2 "Battle" Class ships HMS Alamein and HMS Jutland which differed from the models of the Australian ships in the shape of the "director" tower at the rear of the bridge and in the number of anti-aircraft weapons on the models.

	Battle class
		The Battle class were conceived in 1941, initially out of a request from the Prime Minister (Winston Churchill) for steps to be taken to counteract the JU 87's.
		However, a few Battles continued to serve with foreign navies, and the ex-SLUYS was believed to have still been afloat with the Iranian Navy until the mid 1990's - a life span of nearly 50 years.
		The disposal of MATAPAN in 1979 was the closing curtain on a class of ships which had first entered service 34 years before, had suffered the ups-and-downs of various defence cuts and policy changes, and had provided the core of the Royal Navy's destroyer strength during the late 1950's and early 1960's.

		This model is a class of warship that many ship lovers think is the most handsome and elegant of all ships to serve in the Royal Navy.
		The speed, lines and offensive power of the armed destroyers has always captured the imagination of all warship enthusiasts, and the Battle class combines all of the best with a powerful gun armament.
		They embraced all the features that had been learned during the war years, but so complicated was the weapons fit that only one of the class was completed in 1944.A further six ships joined the fleet in 1945.The last of the class was completed in 1948.

		During the Indo-Pakistan conflict of 1971, the ex-British Battle-class destroyer Khaibar was sunk by two Styx missiles fired by the Indian Osa-class missile boat Nirghat.
		The Pakistani destroyer was not equipped for electronic passive detection or decoy of the missiles, and she was slow to realise the nature of the threat;it took only two hits, at three-minute intervals, to ensure the destruction of the ship.
		They may be classed as the first engagements in history to employ cruise missiles; generally, however, engagements do not involve ambush as a method of naval operations.

		The mountings on the Battle class could make one and a half revolutions in each direction from the mid (fore and aft) position for a total of 1080 degrees of train.
		This mounting was used on the Battle class mainly for firing starshell, but SAP and HE rounds were also supplied.

		Known as the “Special Emergency Fleet Destroyer Scheme”, it comprised just one pattern along with a set of new colors, which were; G20, B30, G45, and white.
		Even though the pattern was for destroyers of the O and P class, several other fleet destroyers took up the design including some from the Tribal class, and it was even worn in 1945 by the new Battle class destroyer BARFLEUR.
		So successful from the very start was the Western Approaches type, that in some cases it was taken to the absolute extreme with a few ships being painted in overall white, without any measure of the disruption in the form of pale blue and pale green panels.

		When the Admiralty called for a escort for the Monsoon battleship one of the requirments for the new destroyer was that it would keep pace with the Monsoon class warship and not outrun it and leave it with no protection from enemy vessels.
		But as with all things these vessels were not used for their intended purpose, the high and mighty admirals who called for this vessel and set down the requirments soon began ordering the Carson Class to picket duty, pirate hunting and protecting various hegemony companies jumships assets.
		By the time of the Amaris Crisis many of the class were little more than training vessels(15 to be exact) all of them were destroyed by the SDS defense system protecting the hegemony.
