Destroyers
Designated DD, these are the greyhounds of the sea, having evolved from the swift WW II units.  Command, control & communications capabilities are now based upon these units, as navies have downsized from the battleship and cruiser classes.  Displacements range between 5,000 and 10,000 tons.
