This thread is about new, Non-Chinese, Non-US, Guided Missile Destroyer classes (DDGs).

In order to be discussed here, the first in class had to be commissioned after January 1, 2007.

So, DDG classes like the following can be discussed here in detail:

Daring Class DDG (UK)
Akizuki Class DDG (Japan)
Kolkata Class DDG (India)
Hobart Class DDG (Australia)
Se Joing the Great Class DDG (South Korea)
Horizon Class DDG (France & Italy)
Atago Class DDG (Japan)

News about such destroyers can be posted in the respective country's Military News Thread, but detailed discussions about them should go here.

For example:

INS Kochi, the second ship in the Kolkata class of destroyers, is slated to be commissioned in the coming five months after it nears the end of its sea trials, according to sources in the Mazagon Docks Limited. This will be followed by the third and last ship, Chennai, which will be commissioned by the end of this year. The official name for shipbuilding work of the Kolkata class boats at the MDL is Project 15A. The INS Kolkata was the first to be commissioned, where it was accepted into the Navy in August last year, in the event attended by both PM Narendra Modi and the then defence minister Arun Jaitley. It was launched eight years ago in 2006 after finishing basic construction. “Similarly, Kochi and the Chennai were also launched a few months apart around five years ago following which they began various tests, starting with harbour acceptance trials and sea trials,” said an officer. The remaining work of outfitting of the electronic equipment and radars were done simultaneously with close supervision from an overseeing team from the Indian Navy. The boats are the largest regular use surface combatants ever to be in the country. The INS Vikrant, being built at the Cochin Shipyard, is even bigger, but is an aircraft carrier. The 6,800-tonne boats are the first ones to be fitted with a Multi- Function Radar (MFR) and carry more firepower than any other Indian warships currently in service. The induction of Kolkata instantly enhanced India’s image before western countries, which started “taking India more seriously” according to naval officers. A follow on of the Kolkata class is the Project 15B having more upgraded fighting and electronic features, also being built at MDL. The first ship in the project will be launched between April and May this year.
