		The La Fayette class incorporates a number of stealth features - the sides of the vessel are sloped at 10° to minimise radar cross section, surfaces have been coated in radar-absorbent paint and the profiles of external features have been reduced.

		The new `Sachsen' class frigates, the first of which was launched in January 2001, are to replace the ageing `Lutjens' class from 2002.
		The principal air defence platforms, the `Kongou' class, are based on the USN `Arleigh Burke' class and may also form the basis for the next step in the development of the rapidly expanding and increasingly sophisticated South Korean Navy.
		Destroyers and frigates are becoming larger while requirements for enhanced stealth features, the consideration of different hull forms and the possibilities of all-electric propulsion are also affecting their designs.

		The third submarine of the class, the Weller, was commissioned on 10 July; the fifth, the Sheean, was launched on 1 May, and the sixth and final submarine, the Rankin, is to be launched this May. The Sheean and the fourth submarine, the Dechaineux, are to be given an interim--but expensive--upgrade before entering active service.
		The second and third 2,180-ton Jiangwei-II-class frigates, with the Chinese version of the French Crotale Modulaire point-defense surface-to-air missile system, were to have been completed during 1999, with the fifth to have launched and a sixth building.
		Of the latter class, the Gelibolu (ex-USS Reid [FFG-30]) was transferred on 1 January 1999, the Gökçeada (ex-USS Mahlon S. Tisdale, [FFG-27]) arrived in Turkey on 27 September, and the USS John A. Moore (FFG-19) is to be transferred this year to complete a sextet of the class in Turkish service.

		The last year has seen no discernable international interest in any procurement of the Floréal class. The French Navy has no plans for further construction of this class, and their combination of ambitious plans for major fleet units and an extremely tight budget makes the any additions to the existing programs most unlikely.
		At present, there are no outstanding orders for ships of this class. Therefore, no forecast chart is presented.

	French Navy moves to Durban

		The Floreal class small patrol frigate FNS Nivose is one of six similar vessels built between 1991 and 1994 especially for French overseas service.
		The class is designed for offshore patrol duties, in particular sea fisheries and is built to commercial standards, making them inexpensive to operate and man. Power comes in the form of four diesel engines driving two shafts and producing 8,800 bhp for a speed of 20 knots.

		This was one of the new stubby, twin-funnelled frigates with a 3.9” gun as ain armament and a helicopter platform aft, specially designed for operations in remote waters, as replacement of the earlier ‘Commandant Bory’ type.
		Frigate and prize then turned north and headed for home in company, making a brave picture seen from the escorting Panther helicopter, the handsome fl- and white-painted Golden Eagle gamely sporting a long, creamy-white moustache at the bows, with the squat, bulldog-like frigate, white foam frothing at her stern, keeping station in the background.
		By 15:00 visual contact was established by the frigate at about 20 nautical miles range and a helicopter boarding-party secured this second poacher; soon followed on board by AFMA officers in a rigid-hulled inflatable boat.

		In early 1977 building of series two of this class was put in hand and includes those after 109, all but one of which commissioned in the 1980s with the latest 164 in April 1987 and 165 in early 1990.
		Class of six planned at two to three year intervals and at a total cost of 65 billion francs (1987 prices) which had risen to 79.8 billion francs by the end of 1988.
		As this is the smallest class of SSNs ever designed except for the 400 ton NR-1 of the US Navy there has clearly been a marked reduction in the size of the reactor compared with the Le Redoutable class.

		One could simulate the Turkish and Syrian bases, and use other gunboats or light frigates to simulate the Syrian ships, but unless the designer needs one of the special features of Harpoon '97 (Syria has mined an Israeli harbor, etc.) in many cases it would probably be easier to simply use the HDS battlesets.
		For example, while amphibious operations are not possible using the HDS battlesets, they can (and have been) simulated quite easily simply by requiring the amphibious units to stay on station for a certain period of time under initially hostile conditions.
		The various Leander frigates (whose classical names make them less obviously British) provide a good generic standard of older warships that have made their way to various Third World navies.

		The major classes of escorts are the Ticonderoga-class cruisers and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
		The EUs frigate force clearly outclasses that of the Atlantic Fleet, both in quality (the gelded Perry-clas frigates have no real offensive capability, and a minimal point-defense capability with the Phalanx Close-in Weapons system).
		Of the frigates listed, only the Sachsen, Bazan, and Jacob Van Heemskirk-class frigates can provide area air defense, and these ships are arguably closer to destroyers.
