Destroyers - small, frontiline military ships about the size of a [[Klingon Starships: Frigates|Frigate]], but often as heavily armed as a [[Klingon Starships: Cruisers|Cruiser]] (or even a Light [[Klingon Starships: Warships|Warship) - come in standard and Heavy versions. The Klingons use them as support craft for larger capital vessels (particularly Heavy Warships and [[Klingon Starships: Battleships|Battleships]]). In peacetime they sometimes function as escorts or patrol ships, but they perform pure combat duties best. | Destroyers - small, frontiline military ships about the size of a [[Klingon Starships: Frigates|Frigate]], but often as heavily armed as a [[Klingon Starships: Cruisers|Cruiser]] (or even a Light [[Klingon Starships: Warships|Warship]]) - come in standard and Heavy versions.

The [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Dominion_War Dominion War] gave Klingon Destroyers (and their crews) a true chance to shine. As the most intense and significant war fought by the Empire during the 24th century (and perhaps ever), it required the utmost effort from every warrior and ship. Since the Empire could build Destroyers more quickly and easily than larger ships, it constructed them by the hundreds and formed entire Destroyer squadrons to bolster formations and support Battleships and Warships. Their combination of firepower and maneuverability allowed the Destroyers to account for far more enemy casualties than they suffered themselves. | The [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Dominion_War Dominion War] gave Klingon Destroyers (and their crews) a true chance to shine.
