Zitat:French first POM class patrol vessel Auguste Benebig in sails for Pacifichttps://www.navyrecognition.com/index.ph...cific.html
According to a tweet published by Emmanuel Chiva on January 17, 2023, the first POM-class patrol vessel Auguste Benebig has left the port of Brest for its home port of Noumea in the Pacific. [...] The crew is made up of 30 sailors, but they can accommodate 29 passengers and support combat divers. They are designed to operate in strong heat and high hygrometry during thirty days, with their own craning capabilities.
They have two 8 m (26 ft) swift inflatable boats and an Airbus Aliaca unmanned aircraft system (UAS) drone. The drone, capable of up to three-hour missions over a 50-kilometre (31 mi) range, is launched by catapult and recovered automatically via a net. Eleven Aliaca UAS systems are being delivered to the French Navy by 2023 and thirteen more by 2025.
