Pictures: FREMM Frigate Provence with French Navy and US Navy Aircraft Carriers in the Gulf
 
The French Navy (Marine Nationale) released pictures showing the brand new Aquitaine class FREMM Frigate Provence sailing alongside USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) and the Charles de Gaulle in the Persian Gulf. Following a short port-of-call in Djibouti, the Provence frigate integrated the Truman Carrier Strike Group (CSG) (Task Force 58) on December 23rd, and crossed the Ormuz strait to enter the Gulf region on December 26th.

According to the French Navy, the first integration of a FREMM in a US Navy CSG in a crisis area has posed no technical difficulties and demonstrates the remarkable interoperability of French and American navies.

During this period, the NH90NFH Caïman helicopter from Flotilla (French Navy helicopter wing) 33F from the French frigate transfered liaison officers from and to the US aircraft carrier.

According to the French Navy, the Multi-Mission Frigate (FREMM) Frigates are a centerpiece of the modernization of the Navy. They are a game changer in particular with their high technology, versatility and flexibility. The first ship of the class, Aquitaine, is based in Brest, Brittany (Western France).
