It's called a guided missile destroyer because it's a destroyer that carries guided missiles.

Destroyer being a class of ships.

I’d love to see you say that in front of some of them “fags!” But you never would cuz it would be the last words you ever utter!

I heard it will soon join two other carriers, one the Queen Elizabeth for an exercise in the Arctic. Maybe that's changed.

Well, it's just an exercise -- it's not like the great powers mobilizing in 1914.
