The French Navy (Marine Nationale) is maximizing frigate motherland availability through developing its approach to maintenance and operations. Admiral Nicolas Vaujour, the French Navy’s Chief of Staff, previously said that the navy has built up the availability of its ‘first rank’ destroyer and frigate force to 80 percent.
In this video recorded at Combined Naval Event 2025, Commander Mathieu, Deputy Director of Technical Division, Fleet Support Services, explains how the French Navy achieves this impressive availability rate.
Commander Mathieu also discusses how the new Jacques Chevallier-class / BRF logistics support ships are a revolution in terms of operational logistics for the entire fleet.
