Template:Ship The UNSC Destroyer is a classification of warship in the UNSC fleet.
Although this classification is only seven meters longer than a UNSC Frigate, they are almost double the mass. Unlike most ships in the fleet, Destroyers carry no single-ship fighters, such as Longswords - their large mass comes rather from the two meters of Titanium A armor battle plate covering the ship. Dr. Catherine Halsey once stated that Destroyers are essentially the same as Frigates except for this added armor. They were used to put down the Eridanus Rebels during Operation: TREBUCHET.
These warships are looked down upon by many in the fleet because they are considered too slow and cumbersome in combat. However, in reality, the UNSC Destroyer could receive and dish out a considerable amount of damage for its length, a valuable asset in the UNSC's war against the Covenant.
