#redirect [[Image:HunterClassDestroyer.JPG|thumb|right|A '''Hunter class destroyer''']]The [[Space Marine]] Hunter class destroyer is designed to fulfil the role of the [[Cobra Class Destroyer]] of the [[Imperial Navy]]. Although available to all space marine [[chapters]], the class is mainly used by the [[Dark Angels]], due to their distrust of other sections of the [[Imperium|Imperial]] hierarchy. The Dark Angels maintain large flotillas of Hunter class ships within their [[battlefleet]]s.<sup>1</sup> The Hunter class is armed similarly to the Cobra, but is a little faster, allowing it to react quickly to openings the enemy provides. The same shield and turret array complement is fitted on a Hunter class, as is seen on the Cobra class. It is also more heavily armoured than a Cobra, providing it with a little more survivability in a combat situation.<sup>1</sup> The Adeptus Astartes do not name their squadrons, therefore there are no famous ones.<sup>1</sup> ==Sources==*<sup>1</sup>:[http://www.specialist-games.com/battlefleetgothic/rulebook.asp To Cleanse the Stars][[Category:Space Marines]] {{SpaceMarineFleets}} [[Category:Naval Vessels]][[Category:Space Marine FleetEscorts]]
