	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, which makes them especially suitable for defence of strategic positions, demonstrations or high sea escorts.
		The F70 is internationally labelled an "anti-submarine destroyer" (hende the "D" in the hull numbers), though the French doesn't use the term and calls them "frigates".

		Early frigates were armed with 9-pounder (4 kg) guns, development soon led to 12- and 18-pounder (5 and 8 kg) armed frigates, and at the turn of the century the biggest ones even carried 24 pounder (11 kg) main batteries.
		The name frigate passed out of use in the mid-19th Century and was readopted after World War II by the British to describe an anti-submarine escort vessel larger than a corvette but smaller than a destroyer.
		Many modern frigates have landing decks aft and can carry helicopters, which give them extra capabilities: the helicopters can be used for reconnaissance tasks (bearing radars), have anti-submarine capabilities (by dropping sonobuoys or wire-mounted sonars, and carrying torpedoes and depth-charges), are invaluable for rescue operations, and can also perform other support duties such as ferrying.
