Good Job France ! Nice project

[@ultramarinus2478]

This public relation guy needs rethoric classes. so much "ehhh" and "aehm"s in one sentence...Ship does not seem too different from LCS trimaran.

[@floflo8018]

he clearly isn't someone who use english on an everyday basis let alone speak. it he is translating as he speak, if he could just slow his pass down a little to get more time translating an formulating tho reduce "eeehh " but i guess you get tense in these situation and rush your speech.

[@Lou84mm]

I can't speak French, hell I can't speak English according to my fellow Kiwi's, but at least he is trying.

[@PARZIVAL.86]

@@floflo8018 he just need to go back to Nigeria

[@CLVASHJBHWFS]

Very much in the spirit of Vosper Thornycroft (Portsmouth and Woolston). God knows what they would be coming out with now, if they hadn't been killed off by new management, Dryson and bae.

[@PARZIVAL.86]

A African talking about European naval tech. Diversity is our weakness

[@jasons44]

Dudes heads is reflecting everything

[@strikezero01]

I thought its X-wing.. ( Lucas will be SHOCK )

[@novoeduardoac1248]

Designing it is one thing; making it feasible is quite another

[@Tagadarealty]

Concept doesn't really need to be realisable immediately, they are just a brainstorming about the future.

[@Chickenworm9394]

Beautiful. But I bet it's gonna cost like hell

[@ViolentKisses87]

Likely so.

[@fredtedstedman]

This is beautiful , what the "TRITON" could have been , if UK hadn't wasted the concept...................

[@volksyes9477]

When a Zumwalt makes out with an LCS 2.

[@Matexde]

Somehow it has to be an ancestor, conceptally, to the FTI.

[@Veldtian1]

Make it semi-submersible so it can avoid horizontal surface attacks then pop back up and POW! If you wanna talk real stealth c'mon.

I only came here because modern warships game

[@stephencarlos9328]

Same.

[@planetsec9]

That's one sleek looking ship and one very boring presentation.

[@recruitmentsargent]

Please explain to me why people that put an uh every 3 letters are allowed to sell this things. Can I please get a job? I speak 4 languages and don't put a HUH every second. Looks like a football player who doesn't know how to speak

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Old cargo type ship hulls r far better peace time platform then this. Proven design has multi use cargo, commercial or disaster relief, & fuel & deck space + design is made for loading easy & unloading & very efficient design that can run on worst fuel sludge if need b, so any where in the world no matter what happens in the world fuel supply not race car godless smack. Cost per tonnage a fraction of price of custom fuck high dollar devil smack shit. As your needs for defense & paroling less it converts back into full commercial going vessel just unbolt the Navy godless prts.

[@mawardidgamerz4025]

Nice project👍 looks the same as KRI Golok but KRI Golok does not have a helicopter pad

[@Lou84mm]

Where is the exhaust/funnel? or does it vent underwater?

[@georgegeorgas2389]

Ελληνικούς υπότιτλους παιδιά σάς παρακαλώ πολύ για να καταλαβαίνουμε και εμείς καλύτερα! Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

[@곽재문-h9c]

Not available CIWS, Anti ship gun, Attack gun. Also not available chimney. How can use this ship? Only one gun? Only missile? and Only battery? Only concept of dream

[@Tagadarealty]

Congratz, you have read the title "concept ship". Antiship gun doesn't really exist anymore (At least until a real progress in the Railgun)

[@veidorje1681]

the stealthier they get the uglier they look today's stealth fregates still look like decent warships but in the future they'll get very weird looking i have no doubt about their effectiveness but frankly they don't look as awesome as they use to

[@dviper2093]

looks like the ddg-1000

[@didierlemoine6771]

dominic parisi I don't understand where's the swimming pool on these french frégate ?

[@bo2web]

More like USS Independence (LCS-2) !

[@suzannegoncalves9934]

Une commande de 5 unitées pour notre royale ?

[@shoopee8909]

Eeeeeee

[@nevinzavell4207]

What are the features of the new combat bridge?

[@danieldougherty7025]

What is the soonest this ship could be operational?

[@Mike1987P]

Seems a little light on weapons, or is it just me? Cool looking design though, even if i prefer the CMN C SWORD 90 stealth corvette a little better.

[@ViolentKisses87]

Well, it is stealth so nothing can really be visible but it appears it has a 20mm to 30mm turret on the front for anti air/anti boat/missile defense and just behind that in between appears to be a decent sized array of missile tubes for striking enemy on land or enemy ships.

[@shanerooney7288]

4:20 - 4:40 I agree. it is VERY light on weapons. AAM are good and all, but a CIWS is better.

[@MrKotsokotso]

The French dont really overload their ships on weapons, just look at the Lafayette or the French Belhara, theyre more interested in show of Flag than fighting modern navies in a threat rich environment, where theyll be working in a battle group.

[@jccalvente]

USA has something similar, actually with few years they now the result is far to be good.

[@spikedpsycho2383]

designed with a ruler

[@anonybadis]

This was way ago when groupe naval was still cold DCNS.

[@craigclemmer3979]

Did he really just say 12000 tons?

[@Toolpusher]

Looks like the British Sea Wraith concept from around 2003.

[@e0o9kii]

It also looks like the American Independence-class littoral combat ship. I guess it's a popular design.

[@ViolentKisses87]

e0o9kii Was thinking the exact same thing, looks like someones been borrowing designs :) I'm totally ok with a friendly nation doing so as long as they take the design one step farther.

[@Toolpusher]

We built a trimaran prototype back in the early 2000s, nothing came of it, we lent it to the Americans, they liked it a lot. Yet another case of fine British design only brought to life by others.

[@ViolentKisses87]

***** Comes with having a military budget of 33 billion USD more than the other 196 countries of earth combined.

[@CLVASHJBHWFS]

***** I don't understand that one? Britain's defence budget is around 2%. Higher than 33 Billion Dollars. Britain just fart arses about and does not go ahead with things like this because of it's rubbish politicians, officials and vested interests who don't take risks. Anyway, it does not matter.

[@saifulrizal7171]

Same whit Klewang Indonesian war ship... but this battleship more advance and futuristic i mean...

[@paulhochon7722]

Oh no! She look like LCS (the very big fail concept) of course is french so maybe we manage to make a thing more usefull, but the hull design remind me a bad Ship. ^^

[@verden2323]

No way the modern suship ship
