[[Category:Ships]][[Category:Ship Classes]]

Destroyers are the smallest class and can be built at the start of the game. They cost 2 [[Command points|command points]] and cost $500 maintenance per ship per turn, no matter what [[:Category:Ship Sections|ship sections]] are used in the ship [[Design Interface|design]].<br />

Destroyers are approximately 30 meters long.
In the early game Destroyers fill all roles in your fleet. Once [[Cruisers]] become available, Destroyers move to a support role in primary fleets. When [[Dreadnoughts]] start to be built, Destroyers move to even more specialized support roles like [[:Category:Defenses#Point Defense|point defense]], [[Sensors#Jamming|jamming]] and [[Sensors#Wild Weasel|wild weasel]], leaving the bulk of combat operations to the larger ships. 

Crew complements vary from race to race due to psychology and physiology. [[:Category:Humans|Human]] Destroyers have a crew complement of 15 &ndash; 20 while [[:Category:Hivers|Hivers]] have a crew complement of 30 &ndash; 40. [[:Category:Tarkas|Tarka]] Destroyer crews number about 10 &ndash; 15 and [[:Category:Liir|Liir]] Destroyer crews run from 3 &ndash; 8 members, depending on the design of the ship.

Destroyer designs can be [[Ship Design Names#Destroyer Design Names|named]] when they are created. Fleets can be renamed at any time.
