PARIS, May 11 (UPI) -- A first-of-class frigate built for the French navy by Paris company DCNS has completed sea trials of its propulsion and navigation systems.
"These initial sea trials with the first-of-class Aquitaine went very well indeed," said Vincent Martinot-Lagarde, program manager for the FREMM frigate program. "The objectives of this first period of sea trials were reached, with more than a hundred tests successful."
