A French Navy ship has docked in Liverpool.
The Aquitaine D650 berthed today, Thursday, March 23, at the city's Cruise Liner Terminal. The warship, known as a frigate, is in service with the French Navy and is the lead ship of her class.
Construction of the ship began in 2007 and was completed in 2012. Aquataine was developed as part of a joint Franco-Italian program known as FREMM, which was implemented to develop a new class of warships for use by various European navies.
