Destroyer
From WoWWiki
The Destroyers were fierce battleships during the Second War. Destroyers are heavy, iron-clad warships that can quickly carry a half-dozen heavy cannon to any point on a coastline and bombard a target into submission.MM&M 191

Troll Destroyer
The Troll Destroyers (also known as wave riders) are swift, ill-visaged longboats designed to cut through enemy armadas and deal damage to enemy vessels and their flying support. The savage troll crewmen are eager to enter into combat against Alliance ships of war and hungrily await any chance to stand mast to mast against the Elven Destroyers.W2Man 76 They were part of the orcish armada during Warcraft II.
Elven Destroyer
Elven Destroyers are powerful warships from the fleets of Quel'Thalas. Crewed with highly-skilled elven seafarers, these swift-sailing vessels are prepared to engage the enemy wherever they may be found. Elven Destroyers constitute a critical part of the Alliance naval defense force as they can unleash their firepower upon dreaded aerial forces of the Horde.W2Man 49 The blood elves later reclaimed a few destroyers, the ones who were reclaimed got new red sails instead of the classical blue with a unicorn.
Elven Destroyers of the trireme hull type employ "junk sails" in a "schooner rig". This sail configuration is characterized by good windward handling and generally good speed across all sailing points (but less from running with the wind). Consistent with the idea that the elven destroyer is a fast, highly maneuverable warship.
World of Warcraft
Presently a surviving Elven Destroyer can be found anchored in the Sunsail Anchorage in Eversong Woods. Several more are anchored in the waters of the Isle of Quel'Danas.
The Forsaken have Destroyers in Howling Fjord.[1]
