Destroyers and Cruisers

Destroyers and cruisers are the quintessential combat ships, each featuring speed and firepower while carrying out unique roles within a navy. We highlight the similarities and differences of these two warships and share stories of some of the most influential vessels and battles, from the lone-wolf cruiser, HMS Gannet, which became a powerful symbol of the Victorian anti-slavery campaign to the legendary USS Laffey, the World War II destroyer that stared down the largest kamikaze attack in history off Okinawa. Other ships featured are the cruiser HMS Belfast on D-Day, the heavy cruisers USS Salem and USS Newport News, and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Howard
