The IDF Newport News shipyards has announced their first modern destroyer design for export. The FARRAGUT class, a design based off of the DD-21.
OVERVIEW: This is multi-purpose AEGIS capable destroyer that can fight other ships, kill subs, provide air-cover, and attack ground targets.
Most of the hull above the water-line is made of a composite meant to reduce radar signature to make this a "stealth" destroyer. It does have a radar signature, but a very small one. Helicopter hangars, while not included can be added, but increase radar signature. The design is based on the Zumwalt class from the US Navy.
PRICE: 1.2 billion
with 1 helo hangar, 1.275 billion
with 2 helo hangar, $1.315 billion
Subtact $30 million for each chopper removed if you get the hangars.

crew: 16 officers, 148 enlisted
WEAPON systems
MISSILE: launched by 188 VLS cells in in front of and behind superstructure
The missile load out is your choice.
each cell can hold:
1 TLAM tommahawk cruise missiles, nuclear capable, or
2 SM-2MR, orER SAM missiles, or
3 ESSM (evolved sea sparrow missile) short range SAMs to replace CIWS vulcan gatling guns, or
1 Harpoon Anti-ship missile, or
1 TASM anti-ship variant of tomahawk
TORPEDOS:
8 Mk-50 anti-sub torpedoes
8 ASROC launched anti-sub torpedoes
GUN:
2 x 5in gun
4 Gatling gun Phanlanx CIWS
RADAR:
standard navigation
SPY-1F advanced AEGIS system and air search radar
SPG-51D fire control radar for missile guidance
SPS-63D surface search radar
SONAR:
BQQ-10F Active/Passive SONAR in bow dome
SPR-5C hull mounted SONAR (passive)
BQQ-5F towed SONAR array
HELICOPTER
(optional, but not standard)
(hangars can increase radar signature, but are made of a composite to reduce it some)
The ship comes with a landing platform and the equipment to refuel choppers, but not shelter them in a hanger without an addtion.
The ships are Helicopter capable, but Hangars don't come standard.
With a reduction of 60 missile cells in the aft a helicopter hangar for 1 helo can be added.
The additional costs are $75 million
With the removal of 75 cells, a 2 Helicopter hangar can be added
Costs are $115 million extra
SH-60F Seahawk ASW LAMP III helos are included in the Hangar costs and can be removed for a rebate of $30 million each.
ENGINE PLANT:
4 GE turbo-jet engines to power the 2 screws.
DECOYs
NIXIE, streamed torpedo decoys
25 Active and 25 passive torpedo decoys
radar jammers (will reveal your ship's position, but throws off missiles)
chaff
PRICE: 1.2 billion
with 1 helo hangar, 1.275 billion
with 2 helo hangar, $1.315 billion
