Re: U,S. Destroyers vs Japans and German Destroyers.

The only other ramming that I'm familiar is HMS Campletown's ramming of the docks at St Nazaire.

RN did operate destroyer flotillas more offensive n' their destroyers had a greater punch. USN was more in the line of usin' their destroyers for screening their fleet operations. USN's major destroyer type 'Fletcher' class was more of a escort destroyer than for example the Tribal or for that matter the Battle was.
