There are three known classes of destroyers: the | There are three known classes of destroyers: the [[CPV-class heavy destroyer]], the [[RPV-class light destroyer]], and the Super-destroyer. CPV-class destroyers were seen in various battles early in the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''Halo Wars''</ref><ref>''Halo Wars: Genesis''</ref>, while the slightly smaller RPV-class destroyer was present during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552#July|July 2552]].<ref name="FoR"/> A much larger class of destroyer, the [[Covenant super-destroyer|super-destroyer]], was fielded during the [[Second Battle of Harvest]] on [[2526#March|March 1, 2526]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''': "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

The destroyer's weapons are so potent that [[UNSC Navy]] [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] remarked that they turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese" in many engagements.<ref>'''''Halo: The Fall of Reach''''', ''page 145''</ref> | ||
