Le choix des équipements presque terminé

Programme franco-italien, et peut-être bientôt franco-italo-grec, le projet des frégates européennes multi-missions porte sur la réalisation de 17 navires pour la Marine nationale, 10 pour la Marina militare et, potentiellement, six unités pour la Grèce. Pour l'heure, seuls 10 navires ont été commandés, dont 8 pour la France.

U.S. Navy Ships Transferred to Greece

By CHRISTOPHER P. CAVAS


Greece has become the proud owner of two former U.S. Navy minesweepers after ceremonies March 16 at Naval Station Ingleside, Texas.

The Osprey-class minehunters Heron and Pelican are now the Greek Navy ships Kalipso and Evniki, respectively, according to Ed Mickley, a spokesman for the Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command.
Greek crews have been training to take over the ships since last summer, Mickley said. The ships are expected to depart for Greece this summer aboard heavy-lift ships, he added.

The U.S. Navy is in the process of decommissioning all 12 MHC 51 Osprey-class ships. Despite their relative youth — the first ship was commissioned in 1993, while the last entered service in 1999 — the smaller MHCs are deemed less capable than the 14 larger MCM 1 Avenger-class mine countermeasures vessels, and the service expects new Littoral Combat Ships to replace the minehunting capabilities of the MHCs.

Eight of the Ospreys now have been decommissioned. Two, the Raven and Cardinal, were transferred to Egypt in January, while another four are awaiting disposition. Four remain in service but are scheduled to be decommissioned by September 2008.

Democratic leaders objected in December to the Navy’s plans to dispose of all the ships rather than keep them in mothballs pending introduction of the Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). Lawmakers concerned that the LCS won’t be operational in any numbers for some years placed a hold on authorizing any new transfers.

The hold did not affect the transfers to Greece and Egypt, which Congress authorized in fiscal 2006. But proposed transfers of decommissioned MHCs to Taiwan, Turkey and Lithuania have been held up.
The hold remains in place, according to the Navy, pending further discussions with Congress.
