M-184B Minelayer Destroyer

The "Ol' 184" is one of the oldest ship classes still in active service with the Confederated Navy. Configured as a tactical minelayer, its main role is to actively deploy mines during fleet combat to break up enemy formations and force them into positions that give friendly ships the advantage. It also has a modest gun armament for self-defense against smaller attack ships, though anything bigger than a Frigate will trounce it handily. Rumors of the average 184's hull armor being at least 20% duct tape are entirely unsubstantiated.

M-186E Escort Destroyer

The M-180 series destroyer hull dates back to the early years of the Confederated Navy, and has been converted to fill many different roles throughout its career. Though largely replaced by the new M-190 series, some specialized versions of it still fill niche roles in the fleet. The 186 is a fairly recent variant that is equipped with a variety of close-range beam weapons, enabling it to serve as a picket ship to protect the fleet from large-scale fighter and missile attacks.

M-190A Combat Destroyer

The M-190A is the primary attack ship of the ICC destroyer lineup. Built to engage and destroy all kinds of other light enemy warships, it carries a formidable gun battery and a decent torpedo payload. This sturdy, rugged gunboat has developed a reputation for survivability; time and again it has defied odds that would be the doom of just about anything else.

M-190B Bomber Destroyer

The M-190B is a bomber variant of the M-190 destroyer series. Heavy frontal defenses are designed to protect it as it makes attack runs on enemy planets, while modest aft defenses help protect it on the way out if it survives. Given that their standard attack plan involves diving straight towards a planet at high speed, the crews of these daredevil ships have a reputation for being either incredibly courageous or insanely reckless, depending on who's buying the drinks.

M-192M Missile Destroyer

The M-192M is the latest model in the M-190 series, which exchanges all but the bare minimum of close-range defenses to carry a devastating long-range missile payload. Some of these ships are still so fresh out of the Shi Jie yards that they have yet to lose that "new starship" smell. Despite its newness, however, it is rapidly proving its effectiveness at bringing down larger targets from beyond the range of potential retaliation. In some ways a big brother to the M-46M Missile Frigate, the two ships have been increasingly deployed alongside one another to great success.
