New York-class destroyer

The New York-class heavy destroyers were heavily armed and armored hunter-killer warships of the early United Nations Space Command. With a reputation for being cramped and uncomfortable, the New York destroyers were the antithesis of the comforts of the Bordeaux class. 
==History==
===Development and construction===
*"To outmatch and overwhelm", the mantra of Project Sledgehammer (2112)
===Service===
*New York, Berlin, and the Moltke Doctrine
*Heavy losses during the Interplanetary War: 37 destroyed or damaged beyond repair
*Significant number of high value victories against Frieden battlecruisers, cruisers, and Zerstörers
The twenty-three remaining New York heavy destroyers remained in service long after the war. Thirteen were decommissioned and placed in reserve in the late 2280s and the remaining ten were likewise out of service and in reserve by the close of 2296.

Destroyer 	Commission	Struck	Details
New York † 	2117 	2165 	The UNSC New York was commissioned in 2117 and was named for the North American state. The New York quickly acquired a reputation as cramped and uncomfortable, but its weapons and armor gave its crews a hitherto unknown sense of invincibility. The New York saw action at Mars in 2164 and took part in the advance on Jupiter the following year. During the Jovian Action in August 2165, the heavy destroyer participated in several engagements, culminating in an encounter which saw its missiles and rounds depleted. The captain of the New York ordered his ship evacuated as he initiated a ram attack against a Frieden battlecruiser; the heavy destroyer successfully closed the distance before the battlecruiser could maneuver away and struck it amidships, the armored bow of the New York easily punching through the unarmored hull of the battlecruiser.

While escorting a convoy on the perimeter of the belt in 2167, the Qinghai engaged a Frieden Zerstörer.

In a brutal battle lasting seventeen minutes, both ships damaged each other almost to destruction, with the Qinghai suffering the worst of it: heavy crew losses, damaged engines, and leaking atmosphere. Satisfied with the result, the Frieden Zerstörer disengaged with the Qinghai and continued its pursuit of the now-distant convoy.

The battered destroyer was recovered and returned to the Inner System, eventually becoming a war memorial on Luna in 2168.
