The Montran-class destroyer is the newest destroyer designed in Sanama by Port Niyi Shipyards and built by the Next Generation Destroyer Consortium consisting of Alduria, Elwynn, Ransenar, Sanama and the Unified Governorates.

The Montran-class destroyer will be capable of undertaking a wide range of roles from high intensity conflict to humanitarian assistance. It will be capable of operating independently or as a key asset within a task group.

All variants will share a common acoustically quiet hull and will take full advantage of modular design and open systems architecture to facilitate through-life support and upgrades as new technology develops. This will ensure that the Montran-class destroyer remains relevant to future maritime demands and delivers an adaptable design with the ability to accommodate sub-systems to meet individual country needs.

Versatility of roles is enabled by the Integrated Mission Bay and Hanger, capable of supporting multiple helicopters, UUVs, boats, mission loads and disaster relief stores. A launcher can be provided for fixed wing UAV operation and the Flight Deck is capable of landing a Camel helicopter for transport of embarked forces.
