During the trial, the ship’s weapons, communications and propulsion systems were tested and other inspections were conducted that included habitability, water purification and food preparation.

The Northrop-built vessel has a displacement capacity of 9,200t, is powered by four gas-turbine propulsion plants and can cruise at a speed of 30kt.

The multimission destroyer has been designed to conduct missions that range from peacetime presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection.
