Ship and fleet experience

I have noticed my "capture planet" fleets do gain experience, however they do kill a fair amount of ships and bases in the process so the experience gain is probably due to that.

On the same note as the quote, does anyone know if destroying units give experience? I was thinking that maybe all those satellites and weapon platforms might be contributing to experience. From my personal experience, it doesn't look like units give experience, or if they do, it is at a much reduced rate. I don't think that sweeping mines does, but not sure about the others. What about destroying populations or facilities?

Slick.
