The French large anti-air frigate, the "Chevalier Paul", has come into port (in Toulon, France) to be modernised by Naval Group. This docking takes place only a year after the large anti-air frigate "Forbin" received itself some major improvements. Both are parts of the Italo-French Horizon programme.

This docking of the "Chevalier Paul" (D621) has a scheduled duration of about 10 months and modifications/upgrades will be pretty similar as the ones operated on the "Forbin" (D620). Through this docking, Naval Group will make all the equipment (engines, combat systems and electronic systems) of the frigate become up-to-date. As for the long range S-1850M radar, it will be unloaded from the frigate for maintenance work (performed by Thales in the Netherlands).......continue reading: HERE
