The top of MN's "food chain" except for their 1 CV(N) and SSBNs. Apparently quite effective WARships! DFO

The Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) has greenlighted a Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) of the French and Italian Horizon class frigates, assigning the responsibility to Naviris and Eurosam.
The deal, valued at approximately £1.3 billion, sees these firms joining hands with key stakeholders: Fincantieri and Naval Group for the frigate, and MBDA Italia, MBDA France, and Thales for the next-gen Principal Anti-Air Missile System & Long-Range Radar (PAAMS & LRR).
