The Hellenic Navy has launched the lead ship of the new Kimon-class frigate (FDI HN) at the Naval Group shipyard in Lorient, France, following a March 2022 agreement with French manufacturers. The Kimon (F601) is set to join the Greek fleet in early 2025, marking the first large surface combatant addition to the navy in 25 years, featuring advanced systems like the ASTER 30 SAM and SEAFIRE radar. This milestone represents a significant upgrade in Greek naval capabilities and the beginning of a new era for the Hellenic Navy.
