Default A Proposed French Fleet

OK, a stab at the French Naval Forces in the region:

Jeanne D’Arc (R97) – helicopter cruiser
Armament
• 1 x MM38 Exocet Anti Ship Missile Launcher
• 4 x 100mm guns
Helicopters: 8 x Super Frelon

Georges Leygues (D640) – Anti Submarine Frigate
Armament
• 1 x Crotale EDIR Anti Air Missile Launcher
• 2 x Simbad Anti Air Missile Launchers
• 1 x 100mm gun
• 2 x 20mm guns
• 1 x MM38 Exocet Anti Ship Missile Launcher
• 2 x Torpedo Tubes
Helicopters: 2 x Westland Lynx

Provides specialised anti sub capability with back up anti air role (according to wiki, Georges Leygues usualy accompanied Jeanne D'Arc on ops)

La Fayette (F710) – Frigate
Armament
• 1 x MM40 Exocet Anti Ship Missile Launcher
• 1 x 100mm gun
• 2 x 20mm guns
• 1 x Crotale CN2 Anti Air Missile Launcher
Helicopter: 1 x Eurocopter Panther

Stealth Frigate, commissioned 1996 - gives additional anti air capability

Jean Bart (D615) – Anti Air Frigate
Armament
• 1 x SM-1MR Anti Air Missile Launcher
• 2 x Mistral CIWS Anti Air Missile Launchers
• 2 x L5 Torpedo Tubes
• 1 x MM40 Exocet Anti Ship Missile Launcher
• 1 x 100mm gun
• 2 x 20mm anti aircraft guns
Helicopter: 1 x Eurocopter Panther

Specialised anti air capability (and the only ship we know is there)

Orage (L9022) – Landing Platform Dock
Armament
• 2 x Simbad Anti Air Missile Launchers
• 2 x 30mm anti aircraft guns
Helicopters: 4 x Super Frelon

Somme (A631) – Replenishment Oiler
Armament
• 1 x 40mm gun
• 1 x Simbad Anti Air Missile Launcher

Améthyste (S605) – Submarine
Armament
• 4 x Torpedo Tubes

So, that gives a helo carrier, an anti sub frigate, an anti air frigate, a "generalised" frigate, a specialised landing platform for amphibious ops, a supply ship, and a sub.

Thoughts?
