The launching of the “Nearchos”, (Belh@ra or FDI in the French Navy and Kimon-Class for the Hellenic Navy), is taking place today in the presence of the Minister of Defence Nikos Dendias.
The frigate is being built at the Naval Group’s shipyards in Lorian, France, for the Greek Navy.
This is the second of three FDI HN frigates (Kimon, Nearchos and Formion) which will join the Greek fleet in the coming years.
The frigate “Nearchos” has a displacement of 4,500 tons, a length of about 122 meters, a maximum speed of 27 knots, a crew of 120 people and incorporates advanced digital technologies.
Among these, among others, is the integrated sensor web PSIM (Panoramic Sensor Intelligence Module), where almost all the warship’s sensor systems are concentrated, the advanced anti-submarine warfare sonar, CAPTAS-4 type, and the full digital Sea Fire radar.
