List of French current frigates
This is a list of frigates in service with the French Navy as of 2021:
First rank Frigates
The French Navy does not use the term "destroyer"; thus, some large ships of the first rank (like Horizon) are designated "frigates", though they are registered as destroyers (with hull numbers "Dxxx").
- Horizon class - 2 ships (primary air defence role)
- D620 Forbin
- D621 Chevalier Paul
- Georges Leygues class (F70 type) - 1 ship (primary anti-submarine (ASW) role)
- D646 Latouche-Tréville
Stealth frigate Surcouf and Courbet
- Aquitaine class - 7 ships (6 primary ASW/land attack role, 1 primary air defence/ASW role)
- La Fayette class - 5 ships (general purpose/escort role)
- F710 La Fayette
- F711 Surcouf
- F712 Courbet
- F713 Aconit
- F714 Guépratte
(3 La Fayette class (La Fayette, Courbet and Aconit) being upgraded to incorporate hull-mounted sonar as well as modernization of other systems).
