The main purpose of a destroyer warship is to provide a defensive escort for a fleet of vessels, to protect them against attackers. Originally the term comes from "Torpedo Boat Destroyers", but it was abbreviated to Destroyer by the early 20th century. They have evolved in line with the threats that may be posed to the fleets they defend, and are now also known as "Guided Missile Destroyers"
