It is recalled that on October 4, the launch of the state-of-the-art frigate “Kimon”, the first Greek Belharra, took place in France, at the Naval facilities in Lorient, in the presence of the Minister of National Defence, Nikos Dendias, the French Minister of Defense Sébastien Lecornou, the head of the General Staff Vice-Admiral Ioannis Stimulation of the Greek Navy and a number of officials.

This is the first of the three FDI HN frigates, known as “Belharra”, of the Navy that will join the Greek fleet in the coming years.

The “Kimon” frigate has a displacement of 4,500 tons, a length of about 122 meters, a maximum speed of 27 knots, a crew of 120 people and incorporates advanced digital technologies.

These include, among others, the integrated sensor network PSIM (Panoramic Sensor Intelligence Module), where almost all of the warship’s sensor systems are gathered, the advanced CAPTAS-4 type sonar and the full digital Sea Fire radar.

Nikos Dendias at the launch of the state-of-the-art frigate “Kimon” cut the ribbon and immediately afterwards toured the state-of-the-art vessel.
