{{infobox/vessel | image-top = ImperialDestroyer(DVD-CA).jpg | caption-top = A standard Imperial destroyer ({{d|799|uc}}) | affiliation = [[Galactic Empire]] | type = [[Destroyer (Imperial)|Destroyer]] | length = 170 metres | width = 38 metres | height = 47 metres | armament = 52 forward beam cannons<br />26 multiple missile launchers | crew = 16 }} This Imperial '''destroyer''' (Japanese:駆逐艦) design served as the standard destroyer design of Imperial fleets from the late stages of the [[FPA-Imperial War]] to at least {{d|801|uc}}. ==Design== The standard Imperial destroyer design mounts its weapons in the forward hull, with the rear hull being dedicated to the two engines. Its cannon armament comprises at least 52 beam cannons in the ship's prow, divided into four cells of 13 cannons each. In addition, the ship mounts multiple missile launchers equipped with missiles of various types, including 2 box launchers in the prow (located in between the cannon mountings) with 6 missile tubes each, 2 missile tubes mounted on the ventral section of the forward hull facing forward, 4 launchers on the port and starboard side of the rear of the forward hull that either fire a larger missile or 2 smaller submunitions each, and 4 multiple missile launchers each on the port and starboard sides of the forward hull. Two of the multiple missile launchers on each side of the hull could also fire either one missile or 3 smaller submunitions.({{logh|051|097}}) In addition, the Imperial destroyer embarks a pair of [[Valkyrie]] fighters in the ventral side. ({{logh|046}}) ==Role and Capabilities== Imperial Destroyers were utilized in fleet engagements and as patrol ships. A fleet of 2,000 ships under a {{rank|imperial|Rear Admiral|sc}} (i.e. only a single unit of a much larger fleet) could be expected to include 1,000 destroyers. Destroyers could be grouped in squadrons for the purpose of patrolling or deep strike missions on enemy formations and territories.
