Destroyer Escort is a video game in the simulation genre developed by Imagineering Inc. and published by Microplay Software originally released in 1989. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Destroyer Escort is a naval simulation with arcade elements in which you are the commander of a destroyer in the North Atlantic in World War II, where your mission is to escort six ships from one port to another. You are first presented with a choice of six routes between Britain, America, Gibraltar and Murmansk in the Soviet Union, and then choose your enemy weight between below average, average or above average. Once you have made your selections you are shown the bridge from a first person perspective with options to help you complete your mission.

Map: Here you can see the entire North Atlantic, from North America to Europe, showing your position and that of other ships and aircraft in the area.

Navigate: Here you steer the ship looking out over the waters and you can also control the speed with a radar that shows any nearby objects.

Stats and damage: You can look over your ship to see if there is any damage and look at the game stats.

Weapons: You have a selection of weapons that you can use and control to combat any attack and protect your convoy on various sides of your ship. You have two types of weapons, torpedoes and you can launch depth charges.

Once you reach your destination you will receive a report of how you have done and to complete a mission successfully you have to get all the ships in your convoy to safety and not be destroyed yourself.
