The second Belharra frigate «Nearchos» has been commissioned into the Hellenic Navy
Published
The Hellenic Navy has acquired its second Belharra-class frigate, named «Nearchos». The frigate was officially commissioned into the fleet, at an important moment for the modernisation of the Greek armed forces.
Greece is purchasing a total of four FDI HN frigates, also known as the Belharra class, from the French company Naval Group. The ships are designed to carry out anti-aircraft and anti-submarine operations, as well as other missions at sea. In this way, the country's navy is gaining more modern capabilities.
The modernisation of the fleet is part of the broader plan to renew the naval fleet. The new frigates are expected to strengthen the country's defence in the Aegean and in the eastern Mediterranean, where the Hellenic Navy plays a significant role.
The remaining frigates of the programme are expected to be delivered in the coming years. Their entry into the fleet will continue the modernisation of the Hellenic Navy and will enhance its operational capabilities.
