The appearance of destroyers as a separate class of ships

9
They are fast and multi-purpose, they can perform a variety of combat and border tasks. The guns mounted on their board are capable of destroying submarine, surface and air forces.





Being part of the escort of heavy cruisers and aircraft carriers, these ships carry out such actions as fire support for the landing, patrolling and reconnaissance, the placement of minefields and other operations.

We are talking about destroyers - destroyers. The diverse tasks that modern destroyers today carry out make them versatile warships. To date, the destroyer is considered one of the fastest ships capable of performing tasks, including in the far sea zone. The creation of a smokescreen, the equipment for the execution of which is available to the destroyers, gives them the opportunity to act secretly from the enemy.

When and how did such a class of ships as a destroyer arise? Thanks to what invention did this type of ship come about? What were the first carrier ships for pole and towed mines? How did the transformation of high-speed yachts into warships occur? Amateur historian will answer these and other questions. fleet Alexander Dashyan.

      It's all about nothing. Better read in "History of the Russian Fleet" in 5 volumes. There is everything that was built in Russia from Ivan the Terrible to 1997. Amazing work.

      Just a synopsis of a wiki article. True, for those who are completely off topic may be interesting.

      See the related wiki article. Dashyan spits almost verbatim - so it’s uninteresting

    Destroyers are truly multi-purpose.
    And the destroyers are not very.
    There is a similarity in the name in the Russian language, and an illusion of kinship between these classes of ships is created, and in the English destroyer Destroyer, there is no direct connection with the torpedo weapon in the name.
    In English, both torpedo boats and torpedo boats are a torpedo boat, they differ more in seaworthiness than in functions.

      Destroyers are truly multi-purpose

      Especially aircraft carrier Japanese laughing Classification is a rather arbitrary thing and sometimes even depends on political factors. By the way, as far as I know, Destroyers (DD) according to the western classification originate from "destroyer destroyers", hence the term. And there was also such a subclass as "mine cruiser" - so, for example, "Novik" was originally classified
