	Spruance class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spruance-class destroyer was developed to replace a large number of World War II-built Allen M. Sumner- and Gearing-class destroyers, and was the primary destroyer built for the U.S. Navy during the 1970s.
		The class was designed for anti-submarine warfare with point defense AAW missiles; upgrades provided anti-ship and land attack capabilities.
		The entire class of 30 ships was contracted on 23 June 1970 to the Litton-Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi, under the Total Package Procurement concept forced on the Navy by the Whiz Kids of Robert McNamara's Pentagon.

	Iowa class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The design of the Iowa class was based upon that of the South Dakota class but with more powerful engines, larger guns and an additional 200 feet (60 m) of length for improved seakeeping.
		Third, all four of the Iowa class battleships were recommissioned and refitted under the Reagan Administration as part of Navy Secretary John F. Lehman's "600-ship Navy" plan, particularly in response to the Soviet Navy commissioning the Kirov class.
		Around 1949, the Iowa class no longer had to conduct the dangerous work of launching and recovering floatplanes, as helicopters were brought aboard for the reconnaissance and gunnery-spotting roles and also added the ability to carry out search and rescue missions as necessary.

		The B'rel class Birds of Prey was well suited to the task of scouting and escort duty, and the pIH class frigates were perfectly suited to picket duty and fast patrol.
		The qa'HoS class light cruisers were supremely qualified for the heavy convoy escort and protracted search and destroy missions, but they were also needed for support roles in larger fleet engagements.
		The class of ship was dubbed "QuD" or "Insurrection" in honor of the Colonel bringing about a change in the "final decision" of the council.

		destroyer, class of warship very fast relative to its length, generally equipped with torpedos, antisubmarine equipment, and medium-caliber and antiaircraft guns.
		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.
		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.

	HMS Dunkirk (D09) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Dunkirk (D09) was a Battle-class destroyer of the British Royal Navy (RN).
		She was named after the dramatic, and at times, tragic and heroic Evacuation from Dunkirk between late May and early June 1940, in which over 300,000 British, as-well as French troops, were rescued by a ragtag fleet of ships.
		Instead of returning home to the UK from the deployment's culmination Dunkirk deployed to the Mediterranean where Broardsword, a Weapon-class destroyer, and of the 7th Destroyer Squadron, which was based in the Mediterranean, had experienced some engine problems and therefore had to be replaced.

	Warlock class Destroyer: Babylon 5 Tech-Manual. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Warlock class vessels were purposely designed to have an artificial gravity system and were never designed to use rotating sections.
		Advances in engineering and weapons technology purchased from the Narn, combined with stolen technology from the Centauri and Dilgar, Earth scientists were able to fit the Warlock Destroyer with two Aegis class, railed particle-beam cannons - weapons of the same type used on the G.O.D defense satelites orbiting Earth.
		While the gravitic drive system has improved acceleration, speed and maneuverability the Warlock's primary role on the battlefield is still not to engage in ship-to-ship combat, but to live up to her design to enter a given war-zone and seize planets and installations.

	Taul Detrel Class Destroyer
		The Taul Detrel class of destroyers is a direct descendent of the frigate classes built in the first days of the Robotech Empire as merchant escorts and general protection vessels.
		As a consequence, it was a given that targets could sit outside of the weapon's range and destroy the Taul Detrel before it had had a chance to lock on and fire its main armament.
		At the very front of the destroyers are four large rail guns, these are the same type of weapon that would later be used on the Border Fleet's Sian Macross Class Battle Fortress.

		The destroyers were also designed for reconnaissance, and contain both powerful sensor systems and subspace transmitters/receivers for their size.
		The use of Zentraedi technology greatly reduced the development time necessary for the destroyers, as well as lowering the cost of their manufacture since the Valivarre shipyards were already geared for manufacturing these systems and did not require extensive retooling.
		Many Warriors were destroyed during the final battles of the war, though their sacrifices led to the Sentinels' triumph and the death of the Invid Regent in 2032.
