What is holding back the Purchase of our first Destroyer Ship for Navy?
Finances. We don't have the money to buy big destroyers, nor does it make much sense for us. The difference between a destroyer and a frigate is the size and hence the number of weapons it can carry.
We aren't planning on imposing ourselves on the enemy, rather we plan to defend our waters, hence the focus on the subs.
