Hmmm. Fourteen thousand tons is not a “destroyer.” Its a cruiser.

Of course, most of our recent “destroyers” have been cruisers, too...

I guess they’re building USN-style destroyers.

I think AFP goofed-up on the displacement. Reuters puts it at 1,500tonnes which is corvette size and also makes sense given its small length. Well, smaller than most modern corvettes also!!!
