Frigates are generally small warships but with great manoeuvrability. India has some great stealth Frigates of Shivalik class or project 17 class which are originated in India only. Currently Indian Navy is operating 13 Frigates as of January 2018 reports.

Destroyer ships are fast operating ships with high manoeuvrability and long endurance warfare ships.
Endurance means that it's bearing power is good. Destroyers are warships with long range warfare system which means Destroyers can easily destroy any ship even if it is not close to it. The main role of Destroyer ships is to protect the bigger ships from small or medium sized warships. The speciality of Destroyer ships is that, it has high firepower and long endurance that's why Destroyers can be used in various types of mission, if it is war, escort or peacekeeping operations. Destroyers were first introduced in Russian-Japanese war. Now, Destroyers are Heaviest surface combatants after Cruisers.
