Construction of Hellenic Navy's second FDI frigate begins at Lorient, France
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The ceremony of the cutting of the first metal foil of the second FDI frigate for the Hellenic Navy took place at the Naval Group shipyard in Lorient, France, on Wednesday.
The program for the purchase of three FDI frigates (plus one more provisionally) for the Hellenic Navy was signed on March 24. The cutting of the metal plate took place less than four months later, and while the first frigate is already in the production stage, it was noted in an announcement.
As mentioned by Naval Group, the ceremony took place in the presence of Naval Group's Hellenic Navy frigate program manager, Gilles Langlois, as well as Admiral Theoharis Chatzopoulos, commander of the Hellenic Navy echelon at Lorient.
