	Destroyers
		In naval terminology, a destroyer is a fast and maneuverable yet long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet or battle group and defend them against smaller, short-range attackers (originally torpedo boats, later submarines and aircraft).
		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.

	WikiPortalus: Destroyer
		Modern destroyers, also known as guided missile destroyers, are equivalent in tonnage but drastically superior in firepower to cruisers of the World War II era, capable of carrying nuclear missiles that are able to destroy cities.
		The first British class to have separate cabins for officers, or a heating stove for the captain, was the River class of 1902.
		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.

		In naval terminology, a destroyer is a fast and maneuverable yet long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet or battle group and defend them against smaller, short-range but powerful attackers (originally torpedo boats, later submarines and aircraft).
		At the end of the war the state of the art was represented by the British W class.
		The class carried five 5.5-inch (140 mm) guns and nine torpedo tubes, but their speed was truly exceptional - reaching 45 knots (83 km/h), which remains the record speed for a steamship and for any destroyer.

	US Navy destroyers of the cold war
		New destroyer classes of the 1950s and ’60s joined large numbers of Fletcher, Allen M. Sumner and Gearing classes from World War II, which were supplanted by the Spruance class in the 1970s.
		Joining destroyers of World War II classes still in commission or recommissioned, the Forrest Shermans mounted three rapid-firing 5-inch/54-caliber guns on an enlarged hull with a more pronounced sheerline for improved seakeeping.
		The destroyers in which today’s generations of reunion attendees served, these guided missile classes were superseded only when the Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers began to arrive in the 1990s, portending their retirement—some while still in excellent condition but too expensive to operate in the 21st century for the capabilities they offered.
