    This document summarizes different types of warships, including their purposes and examples. It discusses the main types of destroyers that are used for escort and defense, frigates which are also used for escort as well as anti-submarine warfare, corvettes which are smaller than frigates but larger than patrol craft, submarines which can operate independently underwater and are used for attacks and reconnaissance, icebreakers which are designed to break through ice with reinforced hulls and power, aircraft carriers which act as mobile airbases at sea, helicopter carriers designed specifically for helicopter operations, and cruisers which have taken on different roles throughout history but generally serve as larger warships. Examples are given for each type of war

    Warship

    The 21st Modernized Weapon

    What is Warship?
    A Warship is the modernized Weapon that Uses in Wide Ocean. It is used to perform Naval Exercises, Naval Border Security, and Reconaissance. Warship has many types. From Submerging, Icebreaking and Patrolling. The next slides is all about Different Types of Warship.

    Types of Warship
    Main Types Destroyer Frigates Corvette Submarine Secondary Types Aircraft Carrier Helicopter Carrier/Amphibious Assault Ship Icebreaker Cruiser in my opinion only

    Frigate
    In modern navies, frigates are used to protect other warships and merchant-marine ships, especially as anti-submarine warfare (ASW) combatants for amphibious expeditionary forces, underway replenishment groups, and merchant convoys. Ship classes dubbed "frigates" have also more closely resembled corvettes, destroyers, cruisers and even battleships.

    Frigate
    Frigate is any of several types of warship, the term having been used for ships of various sizes and roles over the last few centuries.

    Example Of Frigate

    HMS Somerset, Type 23 Class of the Royal Navy

    Destroyers
    Destroyer is a fast and maneuverable yet longendurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet, convoy or battle group and defend them against smaller, powerful, shortrange attackers. Destroyers, originally called torpedo-boat destroyers in 1892, evolved from the response of navies to the threat posed by the torpedo boat.

    Destroyers
    Modern destroyers, also known as Guided Missile Destroyers, are equivalent in tonnage but vastly superior in firepower to cruisers of the World War II era, capable of carrying nuclear missiles. Guided missile destroyers such as the Arleigh Burke class are actually larger and more heavily armed than most previous ships classified as guided missile cruisers, due to their massive size at 510 feet (160 m) long, displacement (9200 tons) and armament of over 90 missiles.

    Example of Destroyer

    USS Winston Churchill, Arleigh Burke Class of the United States Navy

    Corvette
    A small, maneuverable, lightly armed warship, originally smaller than a frigate (2000+ tons) and larger than a coastal patrol craft or fast attack craft (500 or fewer tons). Although many recent designs resemble frigates in size and role. During the Age of Sail, corvettes were smaller than frigates and larger than sloopsof-war, usually with a single gun deck.

    Corvette
    Although almost all modern navies use ships smaller than frigates for coastal duty, not all of them use the term corvette (via Middle French, from a Dutch word corf, a type of boat) or equivalent. The rank "corvette captain", equivalent in many navies to "lieutenant commander", derives from the name of this type of ship.

    Example of Corvette

    Magdeburg, Braunschweig Class of the German Navy

    Submarine
    A watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. It differs from a submersible, which has more limited underwater capability. The term submarine most commonly refers to a large crewed autonomous vessel. However, historically or colloquially, submarine can also refer to medium-sized or smaller vessels (midget submarines, wet subs), remotely operated vehicles or robots.

    Submarine
    Most large submarines consist of a cylindrical body with hemispherical (and/or conical) ends and a vertical structure, usually located amidships, which houses communications and sensing devices as well as periscopes. Military usage includes attacking enemy surface ships or submarines, aircraft carrier protection, blockade running, ballistic missile submarines as part of a nuclear strike force, reconnaissance, conventional land attack, and covert insertion of special forces.

    Example of Submarine

    HCMS Windsor, Victoria Class of Royal Navy

    Icebreaker
    A special-purpose ship or boat designed to move and navigate through ice-covered waters. Although the term usually refers to ice-breaking ships. It may also refer to smaller vessels (e.g., icebreaking boats that were used on the canals of Great Britain in the days of commercial carrying). For a ship to be considered an icebreaker, it requires three traits most normal ships lack: a strengthened hull, an ice-clearing shape, and the power to push through ice-covered waters.

    Icebreaker
    To pass through ice-covered water, an icebreaker uses its momentum and power to drive its bow up onto the ice, breaking the ice under the weight of the ship. Because a buildup of broken ice in front of a ship can slow it down much more than the breaking of the ice itself, the speed of the ship is increased by having a specially designed hull to direct the broken ice around or under the vessel.

    Example of Icebreaker

    Yamal, Arktika Class of the Murmansk Shipping Company

    Aircraft Carrier
    A warship designed with a primary mission of deploying and recovering aircraft, acting as a seagoing airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power worldwide without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations.

    Aircraft Carrier
    They have evolved from wooden vessels used to deploy balloons into nuclearpowered warships that carry dozens of fixed wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Aircraft carriers are typically treated as the capital ship of a fleet and are extremely expensive to build and important to protect border security.

    Example of Aircraft Carrier

    So Paulo Clemenceau-class of Brazilian Navy

    Helicopter Carrier
    An aircraft carrier whose primary purpose is to operate helicopters. Helicopter carriers have been used as ASW carriers and amphibious assault ships. Helicopter carriers can either have a fulllength aircraft deck like HMS Ocean, or have a large helicopter deck, usually aft, as in the Soviet Navy's Moskva class or RFA Argus.

    Helicopter Carrier
    A full-length deck maximises deck space for helicopter landing spots. Such a design also allows for a hangar deck.

    Example of Helicopter Carrier

    USS Boxer, Wasp class of the U.S Navy

    Cruiser
    A type of warship. The term has been in use for several hundred years, and has had different meanings throughout this period. During the Age of Sail, the term cruising referred to certain kinds of missions independent scouting, raiding or commerce protection fulfilled by a frigate or sloop, which were the cruising warships of a fleet.

    Cruiser
    Currently only three nations, the United States, Russia, and Peru (BAP Almirante Grau (CLM-81) while still in service with the Peruvian Navy), operate cruisers, though the line between cruisers and destroyers is once again blurred. New models of destroyers (for instance the Zumwalt class) are often larger and more powerful than cruiser classes they replace.

    Example of Cruiser

    USS Port Royal, Ticondegora class of U.S Navy
