Zitat:France Deploys One LHD, Two Frigates To The Eastern Mediterraneanhttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...terranean/
The French Navy (Marine Nationale) Mistral-class LHD Tonnerre departed its home port of Toulon yesterday. The vessel is now en route to the Eastern Mediterranean, an area where naval vessel presence is getting increasingly busy. [...]
Contacted by Naval News yesterday evening, a French Navy spokesman confirmed: “Tonnerre departed this afternoon for the Eastern Mediterranean. It will join two frigates already on location, Alsace and Surcouf, to reinforce our military presence in this region” [...] On Wednesday evening, French President Emmanuel Macron announced, during his trip to Egypt, that France was about to send a military vessel to Gaza to “support the hospitals”, deprived of electricity due to shortages of fuel. However, given the number of helicopters aboard Tonnerre, Naval News believes this deployment is not exclusively for humanitarian tasks. The vessel could play a key role in evacuating French citizens should the need arise.
