∙ 14y agoThe most famous destroyers in history were probably the US Fletcher class; they were also the most produced destroyers in history; 175 built. Fletchers were about 376 feet long, nearly as long as the Russian battleships that fought at the Battle of Tsushima in 1905 (they were 397 feet long).
The USN's last all gun destroyers were the Sherman class, about 407 feet long and carrying three 5-inch guns in single turrets. The most famous of these is still preserved in Washington state, the USS Turner Joy...veteran of the Tonkin Gulf Incident of 1964.
It was the Tonkin Gulf that started the war between North Vietnam and the US. Prior to the Gulf incident, the US did not bomb North Vietnam.

How did royal naval destroyers attack you-boats?
Yes. Part of their job. The Royal Navy also used 50 American made destroyers; the famous Clemson/Wickes class flush deck destroyers (also called "four-pipers"). These were older WWI built tin cans, but about 275 of them were built. None of them could ever compare to the Fletchers of WWII however. 175 of those machines were built.
How many destroyers does the Russian Navy currently have?
As of 20-April-2009, there are 60 active Arleigh Burke class destroyers in the US Navy, with two more under production. See Related Link See also the new Zumwalt class destroyers currently being planned.

Is there a Mexican navy?
Yes. Nowadays, Mexico has a Navy staffed with 56,000 people, and includes several frigates, destroyers, corvettes and patrol boats. Most ships were bought from the U.S., Spain and Israel with some patrol boats built in Mexico.
Why are U.S. Navy Destroyers called cans?
US Destroyers were built of less than an inch thick of sheet metal. US Battleships, Carriers, and Cruisers had belts of "armor" around them, and were often over an inch thick in sheet metal (skin). Therefore, US Sailors called destroyers, "TIN-CANS"..."Cans" being short for Tin Cans.

What ships in the US Pacific fleet ran aground while under Admiral Nimitz?
7 US Navy "Flush Deck Destroyers" also known as "Four Pipers" (Clemson class) went aground in 1923 off Point Honda in California. All were destroyed. This was the largest peacetime loss of warships in US Naval history. The Clemson type class of US Navy Destroyer were the MOST produced US warship class in US history; approximately 275 were built during and just after WW1. Fifty of this class were "Given" to Great Britain under the "Lend Lease Act" prior to Pearl Harbor in 1941. The destroyers were already obsolete by the 1930's. 3 US Navy destroyers were sunk, while under Admiral "Bull" Halsey during TYPHOON COBRA in December 1944 in the Pacific. Two of the US Destroyers were older Farragut class destroyers, and the third lost warship was one of the new Fletcher class destroyers. Halsey was nearly relieved of command for sailing his fleet into a typhoon. The Fletcher class of US Navy Destroyers were the SECOND most produced US Warship class in US History; approximately 175 were built during WW2. The design was so advanced that it proved to be the ultimate destroyer during WW2, and was later improved upon and modified into Somers Class, Sherman Class, and finally the Gearing Class which fought it's last war in Vietnam during the 1960's. The Fletcher Class destroyer became a legend in both the US Navy and WW2.
