	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.

		During the spring of 1942, DD-428 was pressed into service in protecting troop convoys being funneled into the North African landings, but her destiny seemed drawn to Atlantic escort work, and she reverted to her usual role for much of the rest of the year.
		The destroyer was instrumental in protecting tanker traffic in the central Atlantic as well, participating in the epic baffle with a large wolf pack off the Azores while protecting convoy UC-1.
		Although the escorts were pressed repeatedly, DD-428 and other destroyers kept losses to a single tanker and prompted the British escort commander to commend the Americans on their effective anti-submarine tactics.

		The destroyer, originally called the torpedo-boat destroyer, was introduced in 1892 as an answer to the torpedo boat, but it rapidly replaced that type by taking over its functions.
		Later, its role as a torpedo launcher declined, and today destroyers have a mainly defensive role; they are used for convoying merchant ships and as escort vessels in a battle fleet.
		Destroyers were of great importance in World War II; equipped with new electronic devices, they proved highly effective as antisubmarine weapons and, hence, as escorts for convoys.
