	Spruance class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spruance-class destroyer was developed to replace a large number of World War II-built Allen M. Sumner- and Gearing-class destroyers, and was the primary destroyer built for the U.S. Navy during the 1970s.
		Ironically enough, the DDG-1000 Zumwalt class destroyers are to be built around the 6.1" advanced gun system and thus properly deserving of the unmodified DD hull classification symbol.
		The entire class of 30 ships was contracted on June 23, 1970 to the Litton-Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi, under the Total Package Procurement concept forced on the Navy by the Whiz Kids of Robert McNamara's Pentagon.

	HyperWar: Battle off Samar Island - CTG 77.4
		At about 0417 Destroyer Division XRAY was ordered to report to the Officer in Tactical Command, and at 0432 to proceed south, intercept enemy formation heading north and attack with torpedoes.
		The enemy forces, believed to consist of at least two battleships, a heavy cruiser, four light cruisers and ten destroyers, was engaged in battle by Task Group 77.2 in Surigao strait and was successfully repelled with extremely heavy and severe losses.
		Destroyer Division XRAY received orders from ComTaskGroup 77.2 at 0132 to proceed south down the Strait to conduct a torpedo attak on the retiring enemy units, and upon completion of attack retire to the north up the Strait hugging the coast line all the way.

	Omega class Destroyer: Babylon 5 Tech-Manual.
		Omega class Destroyer is a combination "Dreadnought/Aircraft carrier", capable of delivering maximum firepower combined with overwhelming fighter support and troop deployment.
		Destroyers are broken into three sections and each section is designated for a specific function.
		This is due to the fact that the Omega class Destroyer was designed a little more with their crews in mind and not simply the weapon systems.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Destroyer escort
		A Destroyer Escort (DE) is classification for a small, comparatively slower warship designed to be used to escort convoys of merchant marine ships, primarily of the United States Navy, Royal Navy and the Free French Navy in WWII.
		Full size destroyers must be able to keep up with and exceed the speed of fast capital ships, typically needing better than 25-35 knot speeds (dependent upon the era and navy) and carrying torpedoes and a relatively smaller caliber of cannon to use against enemy ships, as well as anti-submarine detection equipment and weapons.
		A destroyer escort need only be able to maneuver relative to a slow convoy, which in World War II would travel at 10 to 12 knots, and defend itself against aircraft, and to detect, chase down and attack a submerged (3 to 6 knot speed) or surfaced (22 knot speed) submarine.

	Definition of Omega class destroyer
		The Omega class destroyer is the primary warship used by the Earth Alliance in the science fiction series Babylon 5 in the late 23rd century.
		The Omega class is a heavy warship which carries a variety of energy weapons as well as Starfuries for fighter support.
		The destroyers are signficantly longer than the dreadnought due to the rotating section in the center to provide simulated gravity, the forward and aft sections however, remain a zero-gravity environment.

	WWII Online Destroyer User's Guide
		Germany was also limited to a 12 destroyer fleet by the Treaty of Versailles, so the destroyers built were supposed to be bigger and more capable than those of World War I. The destroyer was plagued with problems due to Germany's inexperience with naval design and construction.
		Gun position C can only be fired when it's firing arc is clear of obstruction, as indicated on the fire control computer by a red marking in the no-fire zone.
		In closing, the destroyer is easily the most powerful unit on the WWII Online battlefield, and is restricted only by it's need to travel on the sea - thus keeping its guns away from 95% of the towns on the map.

	Victory class Destroyer: Babylon 5 Tech-Manual.
		This decision was based upon the Victory class Destroyer's impressive performance during the battle with the Drakh, and the fact that it would take months to grow and merge Vorlon bio-armor over the hull of the new Destroyer...
		At present there are plans to build approximately 800 of this class vessel, with each Victory class Destroyer possessing enough firepower to stand toe to toe with three or more enemy ships in the largest capital ship classification.
		The Victory herself, the namesake of this new class of warship, was destroyed when she rammed the bridge of a Shadow planet killer.

	Thuverl Salan Class Destroyer
		The Thuverl Salan class was the most numerous of the Zentraedi capital ships, in addition to one of the most modern.
		The basic hull shape of the Thuverl Salan was that of a bulged wedge, with a superstructure rising from amidships and continuing to the rear.
		The most powerful weapon on the Thuverl Salan destroyer, the Heavy Reflex Cannon is capable of destroying entire fleets in a single shot, and forced opposing fleets to spread themselves out over a large area to avoid having several ships destroyed in a single shot from this weapon.

	Captain Class Frigate - Welcome
		US Navy reserve fleet for ninety nine year lease of six Caribbean Islands, these old destroyers were really past their best and many spent a lot of time in repair yards with constant breakdowns.
		Those that were built were distributed between six classes mainly distinguished by their power units and various armaments, these were Evarts, Buckley, Cannon, Edsall, Rudderow and John C. Butler, but here we are only concerned with the Evarts and Buckley classes as these were the only types used by the British Navy.
		Although these vessels were to be produced mainly for anti submarine warfare the US Navy designated them as Destroyer Escorts and in addition to their Anti-Submarine weapons they were fitted with torpedo tubes on the superstructure midships, thus sticking to the Destroyer mentality.

	Gearing class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gearing class of destroyers originated near the end of World War II when the United States Navy required more range (fuel) and anti-aircraft capabilities from its Allen M. Sumner class destroyers.
		The first of these modified Sumner-class destroyers was Gearing (DD-710).
		In the late 1950s many of these Gearing class destroyers underwent extensive modernization overhauls, known as FRAM I, which was designed to shift them from more of an AA platform to an ASW platform.

	Kilrathi Ralatha class Destroyer
		The Ralatha-class destroyer was developed as a replacement of the old Ralari class destroyer.
		Unlike most Confederation destroyers and previous Ralari-class destroyer, the Ralatha carries a small number of fighters and the ability to carry fighters is one of the reason why the Kilrathi destroyer is slightly larger than its Confederation equivalent.
		In its heyday, the Ralatha-class destroyer was considered the most dangerous Kilrathi ship design but since then, the Frawquig and Takh'lath class of destroyers have entered service and the Ralatha class destroyer has been rendered obsolete in front line service.

	Gleaves class
		The GLEAVES-class (DD-423) destroyers were almost identical to their near sisters of the BENSON class (DD-421), and together they were often referred to as the BENSON/GLEAVES class.
		The topside arrangement of the GLEAVES class was similar to that of the SIMS class, but instead of one stack they had two because of the new machinery arrangement.
		A notable feature of the BENSONs and the early ships of the GLEAVES class was the streamlining of their bridge, superstructure, and deck edges forward, which were subjected to considerable windage, especially at high speeds.
