Chevalier Paul on Operation Inherent Resolve Deployment
October 18, 2018 (Google Translation) – In the darkness of the “Central Operation” (CO) of the Air Defense Frigate Chevalier Paul , a team of fifteen sailors work together to talk about radars, sonars, infrared telescopes and radio and radar interceptors. They try to make the most of their equipment to know everything around the frigate and provide the commander with the most accurate information possible about the operational environment of the ship.

It is for me a rewarding job that teaches me something new every day, I feel useful. ”
