Public summary
The D'Entrecasteaux class BSAOM ships provide multi-mission support for French overseas territories. They combine sovereignty presence, logistic support, assistance, towing and maritime-security tasks, giving distant French bases a locally available support ship without tying up a major combatant. Their role is especially important for constabulary and crisis-response missions across France's dispersed maritime zones.
