I wonder if the Exec is Vulcan.

Wow, so you got a destroyer for the price of a Nimitz class super carrier.....

BTW isn't it a bit large at 15,000 tons to be labeled a destroyer?

That is indeed in the same size range as a pre-dreadnought battleship. I believe the name comes from the designed job rather than the size, though. On the other hand, the destroyer has pretty much changed job descriptions with every succeeding generation since the first.

I'm told that there just two basic types of warships. Submarines and Targets.
