Here's a quote from the sorce where Mjav did see torpedoes mentioned:
Confederation Exeter class Destroyer:
One of the earliest classes developed during the Kilrathi war, the Exeter class destroyer first entered service in the middle of the 2640s. The destroyer had a reputation for being a fast and nimble ship which carried a nasty punch for its small size. They were employed in a variety of different roles including acting as fast escorts for fleet carriers and torpedo strikes against Kilrathi capital ships and planetary bases. While an innovated design when first introduced, the Exeter class destroyers are considered completely obsolete and have been replaced by the Gilgamesh starting in the early 2660s. The Gilgamesh class is far faster and heavier armed than the old Exeter class and all surviving Exeter class destroyers have been decommissioned and put into mothball status. As might be expected, a huge number of these destroyers were destroyed during the Kilrathi war and only a handful survived to be put in mothballs. The shielding of these ships is far lighter than in later ships and do not have any anti-matter cannons although the obsolete destroyers carried a respectable number of torpedoes. In addition to the four torpedo tubes, the destroyers mount a capital scale neutron cannon in a triple mount, six heavy laser cannons, and six light point defense lasers. Still, the firepower of the destroyer is more similar to a corvette than a true destroyer.
The Exeter class destroyers were named for geographic regions of Earth. More famous ships of the class include the Texas, Tashkent, India, Zagros, Punjab, Brazil, and Gobi. While most ships only had hanger space for a shuttle, a number of Exeter class destroyers were modified to incorporate a larger hanger bay and flight control equipment with the capacity to carry up to eighteen fighters. One of these was the infamous ship named the Gwenhayar, which was captured by the Kilrathi and then used by them as a "ghost ship" to terrorize unsuspecting Confederation forces. Due to the high losses in escort carriers, there is some pressure in the Confederation to bring back into service some of the remaining converted destroyers to act as convoy escorts and fend off raiders as well as for use in high risk deep strikes in Kilrathi territory. This would allow the escort carriers to be freed up for other missions. Most common fighter compliment was a half squadron of light fighters, a half squadron of medium fighters, and four heavy fighters. Some of the destroyers were decommissioned with fighter groups still embarked and stored in mothball status along with the ships although the fighters are completely obsolete in most cases with Hornet light fighters and Scimitar medium fighters being predominant. Rapier fighters were rarely assigned to the destroyers and most Raptor heavy fighters were pulled off when the ships were decommissioned.
So, everyone thinks this article "must die" ?
