Destroyer[1] refers to at least two known different warship classifications within the now-defunct Covenant fleet.[2][3]
Background
There are three known classes of destroyers: the Sinaris-pattern heavy destroyer, the Wik-pattern light destroyer, and the super-destroyer. CPV-class destroyers were seen in various battles early in the Human-Covenant War,[4][5] while a slightly smaller RPV-class destroyer was present during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV in July 2552.[1]
In general, Covenant destroyers are very well-armed, boasting multiple point-defense pulse laser turrets, plasma turrets, energy projectors, and a full complement of Seraph fighters. The destroyer's weapons are so potent that UNSC Navy Captain Jacob Keyes remarked that they turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese" in many engagements.[6]
This warship classification features the distinctive three-section design of most heavier Covenant warships, mirroring the deadliness of its larger counterparts. Destroyers are often used as escorts for fleets or task forces and are able to hold their own in combat, while protecting more valuable ships from enemy threats.[2]
