Public summary
The Aquitaine class FREMM frigates form the main modern surface-combatant backbone of the French Navy. The programme delivered a high-end ASW-focused frigate family with strong sonar, NH90 aviation, Exocet, Aster self-defence and MdCN land-attack capacity, while the FREMM-DA variants add a stronger air-defence emphasis. In fleet terms the class links escort, submarine hunting, strike and independent deployment roles more tightly than the older patrol-oriented frigate generations.
