==Summary==

The Cormorant is ~~the~~ Caldari T1 destroyer~~. Its bonuses favor railguns~~, ~~but it can be blaster fit if you like~~. The ~~Cormorant has many mid slots, which allows tackle gear and/or a shield tank. Of note is that the~~ Cormorant's ~~hull bonus to~~ optimal range ~~and the destroyer role~~ bonus ~~to optimal range gives it a spectacular range increase for~~ railguns, ~~such that~~ it can be used as a poor man's anti-frigate sniper. Besides this niche role though the Cormorant has little use in PvP. The Cormorant is however a very capable level 1 mission runner, but lacks the tank for most level 2s.

The Cormorant is a Caldari Tech 1 destroyer, designed to use hybrid turrets rather than the missiles favored by its sibling the [[Corax]].

The Cormorant's optimal range bonus synergizes particularly well with railguns, though it can also be effective with blasters.

==Skills==

'~~'Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot~~ Cormorant ~~for~~ a ~~specific or its common role(s) can be written here~~.''

As a Tech 1 destroyer, often a Caldari pilot's first step out of frigate hulls, the Cormorant is a forgiving ship. Basic [[fitting skills]] and [[support skills]] are desirable, and the gunnery support skill {{sk|Sharpshooter}} especially helps railgun sniping.

==Tactics==

The Cormorant ~~shines~~ as a cheap sniper, ~~able to engage~~ at over 90 km ~~with T2 railguns loaded with Spike~~. ~~For shorter ranges~~, ~~there is usually a better option~~, ~~but~~ in ~~a pinch Cormorants~~, ~~like other destroyers~~, can ~~be used as disposable high-DPS ships~~.

The Cormorant has many mid slots, which allows for a reasonable shield tank, within the limitations of destroyers' vulnerability to bigger ships.

In PvP, the Cormorant has niche uses as a cheap, effective anti-frigate sniper; with Tech 2 railguns and Spike ammo, it can deal effective DPS at over 90 km. With blasters, it can manage quite high close-range DPS, backed up by [[Tackling|tackle]] in its mid slots. It is, however, outshone in this regard by the Gallente [[Catalyst]].

In PvE the Cormorant can cope efficiently with Level 1 missions. Cruisers are desirable for Level 2 missions.

==Notes==

~~''You can add notes here~~.''

The cormorants are a family of species of coastal aquatic birds which hunt fish. In their fish diet, they are like the [[Osprey]], though unlike ospreys they are not raptors.
