Aye, the majority of world 4 and 5 maps require you to take destroyers to either reach the boss or avoid certain nodes. Cheer up though because destroyers are, in fact, effing awesome.

The Japanese Decisive Battle doctrine during WW2 placed destoyers in a role where they would launch night-time torpedo raids on the US fleet as it crossed the pacific, hence their destroyers were designed with night battles and torpedos in mind. This is reflected in their KanColle stats, high evasion to survive the day battle and the ability to perfom some VERY damaging night-time attacks i.e. Beaver hitting Ru-class for 300+ damage with her cut-in attacks.

Also, never stick guns on a carrier. *nod to Yuuka for doing the maths for me on that one*
