To be honest, I have no idea what a Destroyer is supposed to do in the modern Navy. That does not look like a scary boat, with one gun up front and a helipad in the back.

Dog,
you captain a WW2 era warship -- any WW2 warship, and I'll take an Aegis Destroyer. Hell, you can have two. We'll take them to sea and have a duel.....

Wanna take a guess whose gonna win?

The Captain and the crew determines the outcome of ANY battle.

Right - I had the honor of touring the Abe Lincoln Battle Group in San Diego a few years back - good Lord - the CIC alone rivaled any Hollywood movie set we have ever seen... sitting in the Commanders chair was like being in an iMax Theater and more - these dogs can hunt! Blew my mind - yeah well I'm a former '60's sailor - easily impressed...
