A heavily armed and armored zeppelin-style airship that fights and flies using the Movecraft plugin for Minecraft. Also included in the ship's hangar bay is several fighters and utility aircraft which are also fully functional. There is a fighter, a gunship, a scout pod, and an utility airskiff.

Background 

The Royal Navy Destroyer is often considered the first "modern" airship design. Instead of a bulky and vulnerable ocean-ship type hull hanging from a giant gas bag, this design integrated the lifting envelope and ship superstructure inside one gigantic hull. The hull was then encased in thick armor, protecting it from small arms fire. The basic design premise created the modern integrated air warship. At its introduction, no other aircraft could match the Destroyer's blend of firepower, thick armor, and versatility.

Destroyers carried a withering array of weapons, including strafing guns, AA guns, bombs, and the main cannon. They served the Royal Navy well for decades, until finally being replaced by the upgraded Destroyer Mk II during the War of Acquisition.

Locations:


Main Bridge controls navigation and all forward facing weaponry.
All other weaponry can be controlled from the Bomb Bay, directly aft from the Main Bridge.
The Bomb Bay also has ladders leading to the Main Gun Deck, and the port and starboard Defensive Perimeter, where the machine guns are.
Lava Dispensers for arrow ignition is controlled by the button near the stairs along the Defensive Perimeters
Aft of the Bomb Bay is the Hangar bay with 4 hangars for smaller aircraft
Aft of the Hangar Bay is Crew Quarters and the Store Room.

Armament:

1 x Forward facing main cannon
- Fired by the button on the ceiling of the main bridge, or by the button on the gun deck (NOTE: DO NOT USE WHILE MOVING)
- Fires 2 TNT charges per volley
- Configurable range
- Effective at breaking through capital airship armor exposing the flammable interior

2 x Forward facing rapid fire machine guns
- Can be fired by the lever inset into the wall 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 7 x rapid fire machine guns facing port and starboard
- Fired using the lever on the walls of the Bomb Bay
- Includes lava dispensers to ignite arrows
- Can be loaded with arrows or fireballs

1 Cluster bomb dropper
- Activated by the button on the red block in the middle of the Bomb Bay
- Drops 9 TNT bombs arranged in a circle, with 1 on a shorter fuse in the middle
- Middle TNT explodes mid-air, sending the others flying in all directions
- Causes massive destruction beneath the airship
