Topic: Destroyer leader

	Destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The torpedo boat destroyer later on took over the role of the smaller torpedo boats, performing torpedo attacks on fleets, such as the devastating Japanese attack on the Russian fleet in Port Arthur at the opening of the Russo-Japanese war in 1904, and attacks in the Pacific theatre of World War II.
		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.

		The Leningrad's Destroyer Squadron continued to close with the slow Swedish Cruisers; the Destroyer Leader and the three destroyers that followed her were under fire from the Clas Fleming and the two ancient Torpedo Cruisers, but it was ineffective, and they were already replying, firing upon those weakly protected ships with their 5.1in guns.
		The Swedish Second Destroyer Squadron had the two Wrangel and the two Romulus class destroyers, and they were engaging with their 4.7in and 3.9in guns; However, it was not much, when outnumbered two to one and the enemy was firing with 5.1in guns.
		The first destroyer, the Romulus, had just been struck by a single 12in HE shell as her torpedoes were fired; The other Romulus class destroyer was taking a pounding from the secondary guns but also got her torpedoes off.

		The Royal Navy had built destroyer leaders, which were enlarged versions of a standard destroyer class to allow the housing and operation of extra command and staff personnel for the squadron or flotilla command.
		The USN had nothing similar, as their destroyer classes were homogeneous and the navy had very few light or scout cruisers for such a task.
		Several designs for large destroyer leaders were developed up to 2,200 tons in displacement but in light of the large numbers of flush deck destroyers constructed or still under construction, Congress refused to fund any construction of new destroyer leaders.

	Sins of the Mother by © L. Crystal Michallet
		While the destroyer was living with Alti in the outer realm of cold and darkness, the young warrior had watched the progress of this woman, and her brother Solan.
		Pleased by this, the leader removed her hand from under the skirt and kept it firmly on the woman’s back as she glanced at the older woman by her side.
		The Destroyer, my daughter.your first born child, will slaughter your followers and in the end, you will be able to witness the death of your third child by her sisters hands!" Alti’s maniacal laugh rang out as the warrior princess’s stunned gaze shifted from Ari, to Eve, then to Alti.

	Frigates
		Frigates resemble destroyers in appearance; but they are slower, have only a single screw, and carry less armament.
		There were six classes of destroyer escorts built during the wartime emergency demand for cheap, quickly constructed ocean-going escort ships.
		The destroyer escort was a British design concept for a 300-foot long, 20-knot ship; easy to build and maintain as well as cost effective and able to be mass produced.

	DD-356 Porter class
		At the same time, roughly, that the Farragut class was designed, requirements for a destroyer leader were circulated among the Bureaus.
		The main problem which these ships were to deal with was the lack of available light cruisers to aid the other destroyers in their torpedo attacks; the main mission of the new leaders would be to use their gun armament to break through the enemy screen and allow the following destroyers to do likewise.
		By late 1930, the unanimous opinion of the fleet was that a large destroyer was needed to take over some of the duties of the preferable, but hard-to-get, light cruisers.

		The project of the specialised destroyer purposed for the antiaircraft defence of the high speed aviation formations of the Japanese Imperial Navy was developed long before the triumphal march of the operative formation of Admiral Nagumo on the Pacific and Indian oceans.
		That's why the special destroyers of antiaircraft defence could not realise themselves in such quality as they were forethought and created for.
		As they were involved nearly in all significant operations of the Navy in a period from the end of 1942 and the beginning of the 1945, "akitsyki" type ships verified their right to be considered one of the best destroyers in a period of the Second World War.

	FIRE WHEN READY CYBERBOARD GAMEBOX

		The Germans have suffered as well, having lost a destroyer to long ranged fire (the sunk ship marker) and received two critical hits, one on C1 and one on C3 (red circular markers with letters).
		The German destroyer squadron (D3, D2) is closing in on its American counterpart, and D3 (squadron commander) plots a torpedo on an American destroyer (erroneously-- you have to be closer than that, but I threw it in for the picture).

		To the blare of hooting whistles, the world's largest destroyer leader slid down the ways at Camden, N.J. last week, and rode out into the Delaware.
		Sub warfare is getting so complicated that the Navy needs a double-barreled killer, a vessel big enough to act as a command ship for the air-sea teams, and tough enough to help them at the final kill.
		And originally laid down as a light cruiser herself (therefore christened with the name of a city, like all U.S. cruisers), the Norfolk is almost as big as the British Dido class (5,770 tons) cruisers, far outclasses the next largest destroyer;* the U.S. 3,675-ton Mitscher scheduled for launching in about a month.
