In the huge lineup of sea ** boats, the main battleship with the most extensive armament is undoubtedly the destroyer. The destroyer is a multi-purpose **, called the "all-rounder" of naval operations**, with powerful assault and defensive power. Modern destroyers are equipped with air defense, anti-submarine, sea, ground and other types of defense, not only can serve as offensive assault missions in naval formations, but also can undertake air defense and anti-submarine escort tasks in combat formations, and can also serve as support forces in landing, anti-landing operations, as well as patrolling, alert, reconnaissance, maritime blockade and sea rescue and other tasks, it is one of the medium-sized enterprises with strong assault force in the naval fleet, and its main responsibilities include attacking submarines and surface ships, fleet air defense, as well as escort, reconnaissance and patrol vigilance, Laying mines, attacking shore targets, etc., a wide range of combat functions make the destroyer the most versatile and numerous surface ships among modern sea vessels.
In the navies of great powers, destroyers are the main force of the fleet, undertaking the main anti-aircraft and anti-submarine tasks. Destroyers are an important type of capital warship. They have powerful missile systems** and are capable of long-range strikes that can deliver devastating strikes against enemy ships and ground targets. In addition, the missile destroyer has excellent air defense and anti-submarine warfare capabilities, which can provide protection for aircraft carrier battle groups.
Secondly, frigates are also a kind of small and medium-sized surface ships with the largest number of constructions, the most extensive distribution, and the most opportunities to participate in wars in all countries in the contemporary world. The frigate is a light surface combat ship, whose main task is to undertake anti-submarine, escort, patrol, alert, reconnaissance and support landing combat missions for ship formations, and at the same time provide take-off and landing of unmanned carrier-based aircraft. This kind of ship is equipped with missiles, naval guns, depth charges and anti-submarine torpedoes, etc., and has quite strong combat capabilities. However, in comparison with destroyers, corvettes are relatively homogeneous in equipment and combat effectiveness, which are mainly used for auxiliary and supplemental purposes.
Compared to destroyers, corvettes have a smaller tonnage and a relatively low **, which is suitable for large-scale equipment. The main task of the frigate is to perform anti-submarine, anti-ship and anti-aircraft operations, providing auxiliary protection for aircraft carrier battle groups. At the same time, they can also perform patrols, combat piracy, etc. for merchant ships, while destroyers are the main force of the fleet and generally do not perform such tasks.
In addition, cruisers are another type of capital battleship. They have a larger tonnage and more complete equipment, with powerful attack and defense capabilities. The cruiser usually serves as the core force of the aircraft carrier battle group, responsible for directing and coordinating the combat operations of the entire battle group.
In the modern navy, with the development of science and technology and the continuous changes in the combat environment, the equipment of the main warships is also constantly updated and improved. The new capital warships usually have more advanced radar, communications and navigation systems, more comprehensive combat capabilities, and more flexible tactical application capabilities.
Summing up, we can conclude that among the sea ** boats, the most widely equipped lead warships are destroyers. It is not only the main force of the fleet, but also an indispensable force that undertakes a variety of combat missions. Whether it is air defense, anti-submarine or sea attack, destroyers are capable of doing the job, and have powerful assault and defense capabilities. In contrast, although frigates also have considerable combat capabilities, they still have destroyers as the main force in terms of the number of equipment and combat missions. In the navies of major powers, destroyers and frigates are a kind of high-low and low-level combat mode, with destroyers, as the main force, undertaking the main air defense and anti-submarine tasks, while frigates, as a supplement to the former, undertake secondary combat missions. This kind of high-low combat mode can give better play to each other's advantages and improve the combat efficiency of the entire formation.
In modern naval warfare, destroyers have become indispensable workhorses. It has strong offensive and defensive capabilities, and is capable of performing well in a variety of combat environments. At the same time, frigates are constantly being developed and upgraded to better cooperate with destroyers in various combat missions. In the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous evolution of the form of warfare, destroyers and frigates will continue to innovate and develop in their respective fields to protect the country's maritime rights and interests.
