3In the role playing game they address the "Destroyer" class in a completely different way saying that ships with that name are more like dreadnaughts and capital ships, and that the name "Star Destroyer" was taken specifically to cause fear and not a particular class... although I would like to see a "Hugs and Kisses Ship".– kleinegCommented Dec 3, 2015 at 20:41

4@kleineg - I'm sure that real destroyers were named in part for intimidation. They started as submarine hunters, so they could be "Antisubmarine vessels". They chose "Destroyers" for a reason, probably because it sounds scary. "Dreadnought" was probably adopted for similar reasons - it literally means "fearing nothing".– Wad CheberCommented Dec 3, 2015 at 21:01

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
