The third incarnation of the workhorse of the Royal Navy fleet, the Destroyer. It flies using the Movecraft plugin, although all the weapons work regardless of whether you have movecraft or not. This third version of the Destroyer is vastly improved over the original in essentially every concievable way. It integrated the technological breakthroughs of the famous warship designer Robert Bellamy that became available towards the end of the War of Acquisition.

Background   

Destroyer's were expected to perform a wide variety of tasks by the Royal Navy. These included ground assault, fighter screening, warship attack, and strategic bombing. They excelled at all of these using their varied and impressive array of weapons.  

Armament:  

4 x Turret mounted DST adjustable trajectory long range cannons
- Arranged with 2 forward and 2 aft turret mounts
- Each turret can fire in 3 arcs, depending on placement. All turrets can fire in broadsides.
- Fired by the button on the floor of the gunnery bridge, or the 2 aft turrets can be controled by the button on the emergency bridge (NOTE: DO NOT USE WHILE MOVING)  
- Fires a total of 8 TNT charges per volley  
- Trajectory can be adjusted using the repeater on the gunnery bridge and emergency bridge
- Effective at breaking through capital airship armor exposing the flammable interior  

4 x Forward facing rapid fire machine guns  
- Can be fired by the lever on the cieling of the main bridge  
- Can be loaded with arrows for ground assault or fireballs for aerial combat  
- When loaded with fireballs, effective for setting unarmored airships on fire  

2 banks of 10 x rapid fire machine guns facing port and starboard  
- Fired using the lever on the walls of the broadside weapons control rooms 
- Includes lava dispensers to ignite arrows  
- Can be loaded with arrows or fireballs  

8 automatic bomb droppers spread out along the bottom of the ship  
- Rapidly demolishes the area below the airship  
- Capable of drilling all the way to bedrock within about 30 seconds 

2 x 5M turret mounted torpedoes
- Mounted midships, can fire port or starboard
- Useful "emergency weapon", will often work when all the other weapons have been damaged

3 x Standard Royal Navy Aircraft Hangars
- "Trapeze" style hangar for rapid deployment and re-arming
- Currently stocked with 2 Falcon dogfighter type aircraft, and 1 Banshee torpedo aircraft

Redid the armor, it should now be tougher. Also fixed a few issues here and there, some of the guns dispensers were not filled.

I have a small problem with the gunnery tower. Whenever I move the ship, the top layer above the glass doesn't move with the ship and just stays where it is making the ship topless if I move it...

Love the ship, and glad you let me to help with the Falcon!
 
I do think the bow bridge should have a better field of view, and maybe you should put some pictures of the interior too.

Oh, and this ship breaks one of your own rules, there is a cruise sign on the aft emergency bridge :p

Wait, there is a rear facing cruise sign? Or do you mean a forward facing cruise sign on the rear bridge?

Doh! I had someone else make the signs, they must have put it on. I'll remove it and update. 

Yeah, rear facing cruise = hax. Makes broadside aiming too easy, and removes the concept of warships making passes.
