The Sak Kame-class is a destroyer design in service with the Royal Mutulese Navy. The successor of the Mamlab-class destroyer, it is currently the most advanced class of surface combatants in Mutulese service.

The Sak Kame is a revolutionary development for the RMN, introducing new indigenous technological suites which allow it to catch up to the most technologically advanced naval forces in the world. Its combination of an AESA X-band fire control radar, and an L-band volume search radar, allows it to simultaneously track hundreds of air targets and to engage them with anti-air missiles. The latter is also capable of tracking stealthy aircraft or cruise missiles at long range, as well as assist the ship in engaging ballistic missiles. Complementing these are its anti-ship weaponry, which consists of twelve launch cells for the Benaajabi Brahmos anti-ship missile or Nirbhay land attack cruise missiles. The vessel also has considerable anti-ship capabilities. Altogether, these capabilities allow the Sak Kame to function as the flagships of escort squadrons protecting Mutulese naval task groups.
