Destroyer

Destroyers are armed naval vessels primarily intended to counter other surface vessels and submarines. In Crysis series they are used extensively by the United States Navy.

Description

The destroyers seen in Crysis appear to be based on the Arleigh Burke class destroyer. Destroyers are typically well armed, and are optimised to destroy other naval vessels with a combination of naval guns and torpedoes. These vessels are often used in a defensive role in escorting the larger aircraft carriers, creating a formation of six destroyers around the carrier.

Storyline

Destroyers are employed by the USN to secure the waters around the island and protect the aircraft carriers. All of them are presumed to be sunk by Ceph as they likely posed a more immediate threat than the aircraft carrier.
