#1 Isn't it odd how DDs have become capital ships these days?

#2 With the price of DDs today, I think they should be considered Capital Ships of the Line.

#3 The 60+ cells of T-hawks are more then enough to qualify them as more then Capital Ships.

Like hell it does, "Service Fleet" ships (Oilers Reefers, Repair ships etc) are NOT warships. relatively lightly armed and not at all armored.
