French Navy's Air Defense FREMM Lorraine Pacific Deployment

The French Navy (Marine Nationale) Air Defense FREMM Frigate Lorraine returned to her home-port in Toulon on 2 August, following its long "duration deployment" which took her all the way to the Pacific Ocean. This four-month deployment is similar to a "shakedown cruise": It was intended to check the military characteristics of the vessel, its capabilities and equipment in real conditions, in a wide variety of environments and situations. In the French Navy, such deployments precede the official commissioning of the vessels.

Lorraine is the eighth and final Aquitaine-class frigate for the French Navy and the second one in the Air Defense (FREMM DA) variant. She was delivered by Naval Group to the French Navy in November 2022. She departed her homeport of Toulon (Southern France) on April 8 to conduct her “long duration deployment”.
