As a result of independent development by Romania, the ship received unique features of construction and naval architecture due to absence of experience with the construction of ships of this size, distinguishing it from destroyers or frigates built by other countries. The hull is of flush deck design, with high freeboard and a slight sheer at the bow. The height of the freeboard is approximately 7 meters at the bow and around 6 meters amidships. The moderately sloped stem is blunt when viewed from above, and the sides have a longitudinal bend from the bow almost to the middle of the length. The ship has bulbous bow to reduce drag. However, the shape of the hull below the waterline is not considered successful, which is manifested in the waves being generated at low speeds.
The ship's design was to be the work of Romanian engineers only, without the participation of foreign specialists. Systems which could not be developed independently, or licences acquired, were predominantly procured from the Soviet Union. All weapon systems and electronic equipment were of Soviet origin, though still not modern due to the Soviet export policies on individual system sales. The choice of diesel propulsion, provided again by the Soviet Union, was also not optimal for a ship of this size.
