	Georges Leygues class frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Georges Leygues class ("F70 type") is a type of anti-submarine frigates of the French Navy.
		They are polyvalent, due to their Exocet and Crotale missile complement, making them especially suitable for defense of strategic positions, demonstrations, or highseas escorts.
		The F70 is internationally labelled an "anti-submarine destroyer" (hence the "D" in the hull numbers), though the French don't use the term and refer to the ships as "frigates".

		A French contemporary, lacking the term "Baroque," said, "In his time the art of painting began to be practiced here in a nobler and more beautiful way than ever before," and the allegory of "Riches" (illustration, right) demonstrates a new heroic sense of volumes, a breadth and confidence without decorative mannerisms.

	WHAT
		The 'Godavari' and 'Brahmaputra' class frigates are primarily ASW vessels and even the Delhi class destroyers, (variants of Kashins with strong influence of Russian Sovremenneyy class destroyers), are primarily ASW vessels with distribution of armament somewhat similar to the US Spruance class destroyers.
		The possible motive is perhaps to shift emphasis on sub-surface operations in the near and distant future to facilitate the operation and transition of friendly missile firing submarines like the ATV (Advanced Technology Vessel), acting as the nuclear deterrent capable of massive "second strike" retaliatory capability.
		The Dutch 'Jacob Van Heemskerck' class is an AAW version of 'Kortenaer' class while French 'Cassard' class is the AAW version of Georges Leygues class destroyer/frigates.

		The three main missions of the Foudre class are the landing of infantry and armoured vehicles on unprepared coasts, mobile logistic support for naval forces and humanitarian missions.
		The frigates are being built by Horizon SAS, a joint venture between Armaris (Thales and DCN) of France and Orrizonte Sistemi Navali (Fincantieri and Finmeccanica) of Italy.
		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.

		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.

	Georges Leygues
		French Georges Leygues Class destroyer of 3830 tons displacement and a crew of 218 launched in 1978.
		Designated Fregates (Frigates) or Escourteurs d'Escadre, these vessels were originally known as the C-70 Fregates anti-sousmarines when laid down in the mid-1970s.
		The French classifications express their purpose better than the catch-all phrase 'destroyer', but they are larger than most ships classed as frigate and the authoritative Jane's Fighting Ships rates them as destroyers.

		The Project 052 class frigates have a 3D phased-array radar mounted on the rear mast and a Jupiter radar tasked with air and surface search mounted on a stub mast on the hangar roof.

		The Soviet Navy has undergone a most remarkable expansion during the postwar years under the inspired guidance of Admiral Gorschkov, one of the greatest naval administrators in history, who envisaged a Soviet Navy which could at least hold its own with the navies of the West, if not actuallyattain superiority.
		Faced with this new Soviet threat the US Navy decided to refurbish and recommission all four of its Iowa class battleships, which were still in excellent condition and which are now in the process of being returned to service.
		Indeed, their armour makes them relatively immune to anti-ship missiles, and while it seems very doubtful that any new battleship of the size and complexity of the Iowas will be built, nobody had expected the Soviet Navy to build something like the Kirov.

		Hence the Bangladesh Navy's Leopard class frigate, Ali Haider, with its complement of 235 sailors, comes to India, which probably will be its last overseas training mission before it is paid off with the arrival of new frigate in the middle of 2001.
		Endurance is one of the four of its class, commissioned in March, 2000.

	Luda Class - Archived 6/2002
		Luda IA. Second group of Luda class ships armed with 57 mm vice 37 mm AA guns, HY-2 Silkworm anti-ship missiles, and equipment for under way replenishment. Many earlier ships were brought up to this standard.
		Luda II. Modification of first of class with hangar deck and helicopters replacing rear guns. Long-range FL-7 missiles fitted. Early reports suggested that all Project 051 ships would be eventually rebuilt to this standard but these plans appear to have been abandoned.
		The most significant factor in the new group was full provision for under way replenishment (UNREP) using both alongside and over-the-stern techniques. Chinese crews quickly developed a very high degree of proficiency in using this equipment, impressing US Navy observers with their ability to conduct UNREP operations in heavy seas and while at high speed.

	EU Navy surpasses US Navy (surface ships) - Den Games Network Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The major classes of escorts are the Ticonderoga-class cruisers and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
		Other European destroyers include France’s Georges Leygues-class ships (7 of which are in service), the Tourville-class ships (two active, one in reserve), the Cassard-class guided-missile destroyers (two ships) and the Suffren-class guided-missile destroyers (one active, one in reserve).
		The EU’s 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).

		Carrier squadrons were limited to Fighter and Attack, thus abolishing the VBF, VB and VT designations, and were assigned suffix letters to indicate their carrier type assignment.
		Patrol squadrons were redesignated to show in addition to the VP, an abbreviation of their aircraft class, as VP-MS-1 for Patrol Squadron 1 operating medium seaplanes.
		Observation squadron numbers again followed the parent ship division but suffix letters B or C were added to differentiate between battleship and cruiser units.

		Frigates are mainly used for picket patrols where you speed up a while and then slow down to use you sonar more effectively.
		Their "slow" speed (29 knots max in each case) does not prevent them from operating with the carriers at all: they are relatively fast when compared to the AOR that accompanies the battlegroup to refuel and replenish the escorts.
		The French has recently sold Croatale to the PRC Luda class destroyers, but their navy is roughly on the same level as the USN in the late 60's except for area AAW which they lack.

		A small number of enemy patrol vessels are also closing in on the pilot’s position with the aim of capturing the pilot before the coalition warship does.
		However if you are fired on, or are unduly threatened, or the coalition side gets to the pilot first you may declare that they are in Iranian waters and destroy the intruder.

		Historically, the follwing notes are given: The improved Agano class was authorized in the 5th naval reinforcement plan of 1942 in response to weaknesses of the Agano class.
		Here is the blurb from the book, translated roughly: The Agano class was a great improvement compared to the old 5500t light cruisers, but they were still too small and thus to accommodate a 4th turret a larger type was put into the 5th naval reinforment plan.
		The specs are basically similar, although confusingly the AA armament (also for the Agano class) is alternately referred to as 8 cm and 7.6cm.
