First Look: New French Frigate With Her PSIM Integrated Mast

The hull of the first FDI frigate, Amiral Ronarc'h (D660), was taken out of the dry dock on 9 November 2022. The PSIM (Panoramic Sensor & Intelligence Module) was fitted on the frigate the next day. [...]

Photos shared on social media show that this critical phase was conducted three days after the ceremony. The information was confirmed by Naval Group, who shared additional pictures with us (see below). What’s more: the PSIM was fitted on the same day, highlighting once again how quickly the shipbuilder is moving with this program. There are now three vessels outfitting in Lorient: Two Gowind corvettes for the UAE Navy and one FDI. One additional frigate, the frist FDI HN for the Hellenic Navy, is taking shape in the dry dock. Her keel was laid last month.
