Destroyer
Fast attack ship
A destroyer is a fast, maneuverable warship designed to escort larger vessels and hunt submarines.
The name reflects the original purpose: destroying torpedo boats threatening battleships.
Beyond naval usage, destroyer applies to anyone or anything that destroys: a destroyer of dreams, the destroyer of worlds.
In mythology and religion, destroyer often names gods of death or dissolution.
