Fs Primauguet D644
Fs Primauguet is fifth ship of
the Georges Leygues class (Type F70) is a class of anti-submarine destroyers of
the French Navy. They are multi-role ships due to their Exocet and Crotale
missile armament, making them especially suitable for the defence of strategic positions;
show of force operations, or as high seas escorts. The F70 is internationally
labelled an "anti-submarine destroyer" (hence the "D" in
the hull numbers), though the French do not use the term and refer to the ships
as "frigates".
She is seen outboard of the
Spanish Frigate Sps Méndez Núñez over the weekend 10th – 12th
April 2015. Both ships were
participating in Joint Warrior 151.
