Destroyer

The Destroyer is a sizeable ship meant for open engagements with other capital ships. It is currently the largest ship that players can spawn at the Ship Shop. Its armament can be adjusted to the liking of the player that spawns it. It has access to three to four heavy mounts, allowing for the addition of 30mm Slaters and 3" Naval guns. In general, the ship carries a capable armament of medium and heavy mounts, along with the usual machine-gun mounts scattered across the decks. 
=== Usage ===
The Destroyer is meant to be used in ranged surface engagements - able to crush smaller ships and to duel with other capital ships. The available 3" guns on board can penetrate any ship hull in the game. Depending on the layout, the destroyer can be fitted with an exceptional anti-aircraft armament, or an anti-ship armament. The choice is left up to the player. Like most other dedicated warships, the Destroyer is fitted with the usual standard sonar equipment and fully-functional depth charge racks for use against enemy submarines. Like all other sonar-equipped ships, it requires a sonar operator to function. The Destroyer is the largest ship that is able to operate sonar. 
For its size, the Destroyer is relatively nimble. It's able to make a top speed of 43 SPS (respectable for its size) and it has a pretty tight turning circle (good maneuverability). The ship can dodge enemy torpedoes fairly reliably, but a skilled torpedo bomber/submarine captain can exploit the large target and its slower speed to land a hit. Due to both sides' commitment to using smaller ships for coastal defense, this leaves the ship in a good position to annihilate smaller ships. Consequently, the Destroyer does not operate any torpedoes - these are left to smaller, dedicated torpedo boats. 
Due to its relatively large size, it requires a fairly large crew to operate at full potential. Having a larger crew will also allow for hull breaches to be repaired in a timely manner. Having both anti-aircraft gunners and heavy gunners alike will protect the ship from both aerial and naval threats. The 3" guns are good enough to drive off any ship, and the optional Slaters and 40mm guns can take down enemy planes in one or two well-placed hits.
