The '''''Mixtiani''-class destroyers''' are a class of {{wp|guided-missile destroyer}}s built for the [[Zacapine Navy]] as an intermediate vessel between the classification of escort ship exemplified by the [[Micomitl-class frigate]] and prime surface combatant embodied by the [[Nochcalima-class cruiser]]. In terms of armament and combat roles, the Mixtiani class is intended to function similarly to the nuclear-powered Nochcalima class at a smaller scale in terms of size, armament and cost, replacing the Nochcalima on missions in which the deployment of a cruiser would be considered an overcommitment of limited naval resources. Doctrine also prescribes the deployment of Mixtiani destroyers as an accompaniment to augment the combat potential of the Nochcalima-led battle force. This has earned the class the nickname "Teica ships" from the {{wp|Nahuatl}} for "Little Sister". The class leader, the ACZ ''Ixxotia'', was commissioned in 1971, while the last Mixtiani-class destroyed to be commissioned was the ACZ ''Itztica'' in 1989. Both vessels remain in active service today. Of the original 8 Mixtiani-class destroyers to be completed, 6 remain in service with the Zacapine Navy while the other two have been refitted for use as long-range patrol cutters for use by the maritime contingent of the Zacapine National Guard.

The Mixtiani-class destroyers are a class of guided-missile destroyers built for the Zacapine Navy as an intermediate vessel between the classification of escort ship exemplified by the Micomitl-class frigate and prime surface combatant embodied by the Nochcalima-class cruiser. In terms of armament and combat roles, the Mixtiani class is intended to function similarly to the nuclear-powered Nochcalima class at a smaller scale in terms of size, armament and cost, replacing the Nochcalima on missions in which the deployment of a cruiser would be considered an overcommitment of limited naval resources. Doctrine also prescribes the deployment of Mixtiani destroyers as an accompaniment to augment the combat potential of the Nochcalima-led battle force. This has earned the class the nickname "Teica ships" from the Nahuatl for "Little Sister". The class leader, the ACZ Ixxotia, was commissioned in 1971, while the last Mixtiani-class destroyed to be commissioned was the ACZ Itztica in 1989. Both vessels remain in active service today.
