  3.  @jakemillar649  believe it or not according to the Guinness Book of Records , Nobody Has Come Close since. The highest speed attained by a destroyer was 45.25 knots (83.42 km/h or 52 mph) by the 2,900 tonne (6.4 million lb) French ship Le Terrible in 1935. Built in Blainville, France and powered by four Yarrow small tube boilers and two Rateau geared turbines, giving 74,570 kW (100,000 shp), she was decommissioned at the end of 1957.

  5.  @mytube001  Actually, flags were used as radio signals can be intercepted. Morse lamp and Semaphore were other visual communication systems.

  6.  @CanalTremocos  only because the Destroyer moved away from anti shipping torpedoes to purely ASW. The Cold War threat was mostly submarines.

  7.  @CanalTremocos  not entirely. Most of the early missile systems were either cruise missiles or Surface to air. It took a while for true anti shipping missiles to appear.
