THE DESTROYER
A destroyer is a lovely ship, probably the nicest fighting ship of all. Battleships are a little like steel cities or great factories of destruction. Aircraft carriers are floating flying fields. Even cruisers are big pieces of machinery, but a destroyer is all boat.
In the beautiful lines of her, in her speed and roughness, in curious gallantry, she is completely a ship, in the old sense.
