Re: [DS] Why tank destroyers?

This is exactly the same problem with North Korea. 
The NK Navy is listed as having zillions of ships, and the vast majority
of them are tiny fishing boats and such fitted with missiles. In theory,
they could duke it ou with South Korean DDs and such, losing one or two
fishing boats in return for a rather expensive destroyer... for obvious
reasons, they have to use missiles and not guns.
