No. Hand over is December 2008. Then the RN for some reasons will need nearly two years to put it into service.

Rob wrote: There is a subtle difference between doing relatively tranquil exercises in the Irish sea and being a fully-operative warship. HMS DARING will do the usual
first-of-class tests which will include her going to all sorts of environments to check her suitability for all theatres: there will presumably be a lot more
weapons and defence practice. Of course once the RN has her hands on her I'm sure she could be brought into service earlier if some crisis arose but the
plan is to make sure that the T45s are suitable for all environments meaning a lot of first-of-class tests.
