Just after New Year’s, the FS Bretagne embarked on a patrol mission from Brest in Brittany on France’s northwest coast to the High North – le grand Nord.
This is one of the French Navy’s multi-role frigates, which is also particularly capable of anti-submarine warfare and land attacks with its cruise missiles.
High North News meets Commander Senior Grade Jean-Michel Pimbert as Bretagne fills up with new supplies in the Port of Bodø, Northern Norway.
The frigate has covered many nautical miles in the North Atlantic, with sailings by the Faroe Islands and Iceland.
“We are here to strengthen NATO’s deterrent posture in the High North and to support our northern allies. In this also lies the importance of regular training on sailing in the North and cooperation with allies in the region,” says Pimbert.
