It will also be able to defend itself with anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles, light torpedoes, and guns. Like traditional frigates, it will patrol and control France’s vast maritime exclusive economic zone-at 4,513,920 square miles, it is the biggest in the world. The 4,960-ton, 394-foot FDI will also be outfitted to handle what the military call asymmetric threats: dangers posed by the likes of terrorist groups, drug cartels, or smugglers-in short, anyone who is not backed by a state. Like most frigates-vessels between 2,200 and 5,500 tons-its main missions will be to look out for threatening ships, as well as aircraft and submarines. The first of five such ships, the Admiral Ronarc’h (pronounced “Ronar”), will be delivered in 2023, and the last in 2030. It’s known by its French initials, FDI, which stands for frégates de défense et d’intervention. In October, France’s Naval Group began construction on a new type of ship: the defense and intervention frigate.
