Eagle Industries
Welcome to Eagle Industries, a startup company that brings you the best brand spanking new military hardware out there. If you're looking for an honest, environmentally responsible product; you've come to the right place!

Class description
Destroyers (DD) are a class of smaller to midsize warships, highly specialized into either torpedoboats, for anti-naval and anti-sub warfare, Anti-Air destroyers and Anti-ship destroyers. Usually carrying a comparably large powerplant, they often have LAMS equiped. These ships focus on speed, and are often used for interdicting enemy fleets. Destroyers evolve into cruisers and battlecruisers.

The ship
The Executor class of light destroyers was built on the hull of the Longsword class. A through-development of the Wraith class FAC was considered, but a mono-hull was ultimately preferred because of its heigher stability and greater ease of fitting guns The intention was a fast, heavy hitting ship that could do hit and run tactics on unsuspecting targets. . Either solo, when up against slower targets, or as part of a larger group. Unlike the Longsword, the Executor relies on eight heavy anti-ship missiles located amidships. These missiles have a few distinct advantages over the torpedo loadout of the Longsword, among which the chance of being intercepted. Thus, the Executor is preferred over the Longsword in most naval engagement, excluding of course submarines.

The missiles have the downside of making the ship heavier, she's as such slower than Longsword, and their placement leaves them relatively vulnerable to heavy fire. Make sure this ship is either accompanied by a larger vessel when engaging heavily armed foes; this ship is most certainly not designed to take a beating.

Update: v70. Updated the armour. The ship is both lighter and better protected. As a result, speed went up from 34 m/s to 36 m/s.
Missile launchers have received HA armour on the sides to better protect against enemy fire. She should be more resistant to light and medium shellfire, but it is still insufficient against heavy shells.
Updates to the funnel have led to an increase in enginepower.
