From Wikipedia HMS Dauntless is the second ship of the Type 45 class of air defence destroyer built for the Royal Navy. She was built by BAE, and launched at Govan in January 2007, was handed over to the Royal Navy on 3 December 2009 and was formally commissioned on 3 June 2010

The Flag state issues are contractual and apparently trivial to resolve. The USCG Issues are outside the contract, and actully require the vessel to be turned over and crewed by the owner prior to certification.
The yard recently began several million in repairs and upgrades, including a new Marine Railway seen here:
