List Of French Modern Frigates
The list of French modern frigates covers ships acquired or built between 1925 and the present day. This list is not comprehensive. In France, "destroyers" are called "''contre-torpilleurs''" or "first rank frigates"; hence, destroyer-size ships might be listed here. During the 1940s, frigate-size ships were called "torpilleurs". * **''Orage'' (1926) ** (1927) **''Simoun'' (1926) **''Tramontane'' (1927) **''Trombe'' (1927) **''Bourrasque'' (1926) **''Cyclone'' (1927) **''Mistral'' (1927) **''Siroco'' (1927) **''Tempête'' (1926) **''Typhon'' (1928) **''Tornade'' (1928) * **''Mars'' (1926) **''Le Fortuné'' (1926) **''Palme'' (1926) **''La Railleuse'' (1926) **''Alcyon'' (1926) **''L'Adroit'' (1927) **''Boulonnais'' (1928) **''Brestois'' (1928) **''Bordelais'' (1930) **''Basque'' (1930) **''Forbin'' (1930) **''Fougueux'' (1930) ** (1931) **''Frondeur'' (1931) * **''Albatros'' (F762, 1931) * **''Hardi'' (1938) **''Fleuret'' (1938) **''L'Adroit'' (ex-''Épée'') (1938) **''Mameluck' ...

Eritrea (ship)
''Eritrea'' was a colonial ship of the Italian Regia Marina constructed in the Castellammare Shipyards near Napoli. Construction started in 1935 and she was commissioned in 1937. She served mainly in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. Design The ''Eritrea'' (2,170 tons displacement) was constructed for duties as a typical "colonial ship" and was sometimes referred to as a "sloop". She had a novel diesel-electric machinery outfit designed to maximise range. She was armed with four 120 mm guns, two 40 mm guns, and two 13.2 mm machine guns. The ship also had an extensive engineering workshop on board and could provide repair support to Italian submarines based in East Africa. A modified sister ship to be called ''Etiopia'' was planned, but cancelled on the outbreak of war. Service Following Italy's declaration of war on 10 June 1940, colonial ship ''Eritrea'' became part of the Italian Royal Navy (''Regia Marina''). ''Eritrea'' was part of the Italian Nav ...

Le Corse-class Frigate
The ''Le Corse'' class (or E50 Type) was a class of 4 fast frigates (''Escorteurs Rapide'') built for the French Navy in the early 1950s. They were first surface combatant class of ships to be built after World War II and symbolized "the revival of the French fleet." They were followed by the Le Normand-class (or E52 Type) frigates, and like them, were long-range convoy escorts capable of high speed. The E50 type shared a flush-decked layout with the E52 class, and had a similar armament of three twin 57mm turrets) (one forward and two aft) and an anti-submarine armament consisting of a battery of heavyweight guided torpedoes and a 375mm Bofors six-barrel rocket launcher. Ships See also *List of Escorteurs of the French Navy The ''escorteurs'' of the French Navy were light naval warships used for convoy protection during and after the Second World War.

Le Normand-class Frigate
The ''Le Normand'' class (or E52 Type) was a class of 14 fast frigates (''Escorteurs Rapide'') built for the French Navy in the late 1950s. They were an immediate follow-on from the earlier Le Corse-class (or E50 Type) frigates, and like them, were long-range convoy escorts capable of high speed. The first seven ships, paid for by the United States under the Mutual Defense Assistance Act were ordered in 1952. The remaining seven ships were paid for by France and ordered between 1953 and 1955. The E52 type shared a flush-decked layout with the E50 class, and had a similar armament of three twin 57mm turrets) (one forward and two aft) and an anti-submarine armament consisting of a battery of heavyweight guided torpedoes and a 375mm Bofors six-barrel rocket launcher. The major difference was the layout of the armament, with the torpedo tubes moving from forwards to amidships, and the Bofors launcher moving from amidships to forward of the bow gun, thus reducing topweight and impr ...

Commandant Rivière-class Frigate

List Of French Sail Frigates
This article is a list of French naval frigates during the Age of Sail, from the middle of the 17th century (when the type emerged) until the close of the sailing era in the middle of the 19th century. The tables excludes privateer frigates (i.e. those owned by individuals or business enterprises), which were not part of the ''Marine Royale'', as well as frigates built for the French East India Company (''Compagnie des Indes'') unless the latter were subsequently acquired by the French Navy. Note that throughout this article the term "-pounder" refers to French pre-metric units of weight - ''livres'' - which were almost 8% greater than UK/US units of the same name; every other maritime power likewise established its own system of weights and each country's 'pound' was different from that of every other nation. Similarly French pre-metric units of length (''pieds'' and ''pouces'') were 6.575% longer than equivalent UK/US units of measurement (''feet'' and ''inches''); the pre- ...
