Torpedo bombers

The Russian name "destroyer" comes from the term "destroyer", in English this ship is called "destroyer", literally "destroyer" - "destroyer of torpedo ships." Over time, ships of this class turned into multifunctional platforms, carrying both guns and torpedoes. The Royal Navy abandoned this type of ship entirely, but the Imperial German Navy retained both types throughout the First World War and, unusually, built a new generation of destroyers. They were intended for coastal operations exclusively in the Baltic and for laying mines.
