	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.
		At the end of the war the state of the art was represented by the British V and W class destroyer.
		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.

		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.
