          My God who comes up with these things, theirs only 1 D in Destroyer you know Are their so many abreviations that the more obvious ones are already used and new equipment gets rather odd sounding. Like DE, DY or DR seem the more natural ones to me?
          Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick Nietzsche

            Most of the designations came from the '20s.

                      So, Lonestar, we're still waiting for some prostitute pics. I'd settle for some belly dancers.

                        I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                          DD stands for Deck Destroyer, actually.

                          DE is a Destroyer Escort. Now known as an FF, which stands for Fast Frigate.

                                In it's most recent context, CA stood for Heavy Cruisier.
