French Naval Group delivered the third and last upgraded "La Fayette" class frigate FS "Aconit" (F-713) to the French Navy.
The lead ship of the French Navy’s first defence and intervention frigate FDI class, also known as Belharra class Amiral Ronar’ch, was launched in Lorient.
France and Greece established a “strategic partnership” in defence where France would supply the air and naval platforms and armament. Greece believes that the acquisition of new frigates will shift the power balance to Greece in the Aegean Sea and East-Med. However, the Greek publication navaldefence.gr indicates that the Belharra-class frigates will lack what the Hellenic Navy (HN) wanted most.
Greece prefers French ships to modernise its naval forces with Naval Group’s Frégate de Défense et d'Intervention (FDI)(the export designation Belh@rra®)
