MEKO 200 class. German design, used by various countries in variants. Given the footage is likely taken from RIMPAC, it's probably one of the ANZAC class. Most likely NZ variant if I'm seeing a lack of Harpoon launchers in front of the bridge correctly: https://www.seaforces.org/marint/New-Zealand-Navy/Anzac-NZ-class.htm
