Exciting news for Greece as Defense Minister Nikos Dendias is set to attend the launching ceremony of the Belharra-class frigate HN Frigate Nearchos in France. This event marks a significant milestone for the Greek navy and armed forces.
The HN Frigate Nearchos is a state-of-the-art multi-role vessel with a displacement of 4,500 tons and is part of the latest generation of “digital” frigates.
The delivery schedule includes the first FDI frigate, Kimon, by June 2025, followed by Nearchos and Formion by the end of 2025. With the acquisition of these frigates, Greece is enhancing its naval fleet to play a key role in the Aegean and East Mediterranean regions.
