The Amiral Ronarc’h sets out for sea trials on October 7. DGA
In French parlance, the new warship is the first of a new class of Frégate de Défense et d’Intervention (FDI), or defense and intervention frigate.
The Amiral Ronarc’h is the first of five FDI frigates being built by Naval Group for the French Navy under a contract awarded in 2017. Construction of the lead ship began in 2019, it was laid down in December 2021, and launched in November 2022.
The French Navy’s FDIs will each have a displacement of around 4,960 tons. These warships are 400 feet long, have a beam of 59 feet, and will be capable of speeds of 27 knots, driven by a combined diesel and diesel (CODAD) propulsion arrangement. They will have an at-sea endurance of 45 days. They will typically be operated by a crew of 125, with provision to embark 28 additional personnel if required for certain missions.
They're also well armed for their size.
