List of French current frigates

This is a list of frigates in service with the French Navy as of 2023:

First rank frigates

The French Navy does not use the term "destroyer"; thus, some large ships of the first rank (like Horizon) are designated "frigates", though they are registered as destroyers (with hull numbers "Dxxx").

Stealth frigates Surcouf and Courbet

Second rank frigates

Two La Fayette class (La Fayette and Courbet) warships were upgraded, with the incorporation of a hull-mounted sonar and the modernization of various other systems. A third ship of the class, Aconit, began the same modernization process in February 2023.
