Probably one of the best and most famous destroyers, the Fletcher-class is capable of attacking all kinds of targets given its weaponry, and like the Fubuki, is a jack-of-all-trades. Unfortunately this means it cannot truly excel in any area - save perhaps the anti-aircraft role. If they can get in really close, they can even torpedo battleships, although that is a difficult manoeuvre to accomplish. | Probably one of the best and most famous destroyers, the Fletcher-class is capable of attacking all kinds of targets given its weaponry, and like the Fubuki, is a jack-of-all-trades.

Notable warships of this class include the ''Dewey'', ''Jenkins'', ''Monaghan'', ''John D. Ford'', ''Perkins'', ''Hotspur'', and ''Sands''. | |||
'''Official Description:''' ''The Fletcher class has a state-of-the-art destroyer design that came into service in early 1942. Much larger than normal destroyers, it is nearly comparable to a light cruiser in both size and armament. rmed with the new dual-purpose 5" guns, it is particularly strong in the AA role, though it is also a formidable submarine hunter thanks to its dual depth charge launchers. In addition, both its torpedo tubs mounts can swivel to either side of the ship, allowing it t unleash a salvo of torpedoes that can put down an opponent of any size. These are very potent warships.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''The Fletcher class has a state-of-the-art destroyer design that came into service in early 1942.
