Destroyers are generally used for screening and support of the fleet in general. They provide a screen of vessels around a carrier or amphibious task force or convoy. Their Radar and Sonar systems, as well as their lookouts, provided early notice of enemy aircraft and submarines. They laid smoke screens, used torpedoes and guns against enemy ships, used guns in support of landing forces and against aircraft attacks. They could also drop depth charges against submarines.
