	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Destroyer
		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 were involved in the skirmishes that prompted the Battle of Heligoland Bight, and filled a range of roles in the Battle of Gallipoli, acting as troops transports and fire support vessels, as well as their fleet-screening role.
		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.

	A Comparison of Delhi & Sovremenny Destroyers
		The Delhi Class is best described as a multi-role ship of Indian, Russian and Western origin with a significant ASW capability while the Sovremenny Class is intended primarily for the anti-ship role.
		The Delhi is very similar to the Sovrenemmy-II in its displacement and dimensions; 6900 tons full load, 163 meters in length, 17 meters in beam and 6.5 meters in draught vs. 7800 tons full load, 156 meters in length, 17.3 meters in beam, and a draught of 6.5 meters.
		On the Delhi, the CIWS is paired amidships in an arrangement that is identical to the Kashin's while on the Sovremenny, the CIWS mounts are located by the bridge and also amidships.

	Defence Talk Forum - Wrong choice of AShM for delhi class destroyers?
		It seems that the SS-N-25 Switchblade AShMs which are installed in the Delhi class destroyers was a wrong choice by the Indian navy.
		Initially the delhi class destroyers were to be fitted with the far more potent SS-N-22 Sunburn missiles.
		This is clearly illustrated by the fact the first Delhi class destroyer has blast deflectors required for the Sunburn missile.

	WHAT
		The 'Godavari' and 'Brahmaputra' class frigates are primarily ASW vessels and even the Delhi class destroyers, (variants of Kashins with strong influence of Russian Sovremenneyy class destroyers), are primarily ASW vessels with distribution of armament somewhat similar to the US Spruance class destroyers.
		However considering the emerging sophistication of future generations of nuclear submarines it may be logical to opt for destroyer sized vessels similar to Japanese 'Haruna' and improved 'Shirane' class, with the aft flight deck extending to one-third of the length of the ship.
		The Dutch 'Jacob Van Heemskerck' class is an AAW version of 'Kortenaer' class while French 'Cassard' class is the AAW version of Georges Leygues class destroyer/frigates.
