Destroyer
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
A destroyer is a type of light capital warship in both the UNSC and Covenant navies. Historically, a destroyer has been defined as a fast and maneuverable yet long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet or battle group and defend them against smaller, short-range but powerful attackers (such as a starfighter). Destroyers are typically roughly the size of frigates in their respective navies.
Role
The destroyers used by the UNSC are essentially a heavier and more specialized version of a frigate, emphasizing firepower and armor over versatility. Aside escorting fleets, the UNSC is known to deploy destroyers on patrol and scouting operations.[1][2] The Covenant also possess a variety of destroyer classes, which are employed in a variety of roles, including serving as escorts for larger ships such as carriers, whilst being themselves escorted by smaller ships like frigates.[3] The Covenant also use destroyers in planetary glassing operations.[4]
