A '''guided-missile destroyer''' ('''DDG''') is a [[destroyer]] whose primary armament is [[guided missile]]s so they can provide [[anti-aircraft warfare]] [[Screening (tactical)|screening]] for the fleet. The NATO standard designation for these vessels is '''DDG''', while destroyers which have a primary gun armament or a small number of anti-aircraft missiles sufficient only for point-defense are designated '''DD'''. Nations vary in their use of destroyer '''D''' designation in their hull pennant numbering, either prefixing or dropping it altogether.
A '''guided-missile destroyer''' ('''DDG''') is a [[destroyer]] whose primary armament is [[guided missile]]s so they can provide [[anti-aircraft warfare]] [[Screening (tactical)|screening]] for the fleet. The NATO standard designation for these vessels is '''DDG''', while destroyers which have a primary gun armament or a small number of anti-aircraft missiles sufficient only for point-defense are designated '''DD'''. Nations vary in their use of destroyer '''D''' designation in their hull pennant numbering, either prefixing or dropping it altogether.


Guided-missile destroyers are equipped with large missile magazines, with modern examples typically having [[Vertical launching system|vertical-launch cells]]. Some guided-missile destroyers contain integrated weapons systems, such as the United States’ [[Aegis Combat System]], and may be adopted for use in an [[Missile defense|anti-missile or ballistic-missile defense]] role. This is especially true for navies that no longer operate [[cruiser]]s, so other vessels must be adopted to fill in the gap. Many guided-missile destroyers are also multipurpose vessels, equipped to carry out [[Anti-surface warfare|anti-surface]] [[Modern Naval tactics|operations]] with [[surface-to-surface missile]]s and [[naval gun]]s, and [[anti-submarine warfare]] with torpedoes and helicopters.

INS Visakhapatnam, the lead ship of her class of guided-missile destroyers

A guided-missile destroyer (DDG) is a destroyer whose primary armament is guided missiles so they can provide anti-aircraft warfare screening for the fleet. The NATO standard designation for these vessels is DDG, while destroyers which have a primary gun armament or a small number of anti-aircraft missiles sufficient only for point-defense are designated DD. Nations vary in their use of destroyer D designation in their hull pennant numbering, either prefixing or dropping it altogether.

Guided-missile destroyers are equipped with large missile magazines, with modern examples typically having vertical-launch cells. Some contain integrated weapons systems, such as the United States’ Aegis Combat System, and may be adopted for use in an anti-missile or ballistic-missile defense role. This is especially true for navies that no longer operate cruisers, so other vessels must be adopted to fill in the gap.

Many guided-missile destroyers are also multipurpose vessels, equipped to carry out anti-surface operations with surface-to-surface missiles and naval guns, and anti-submarine warfare with torpedoes and helicopters.
