Even against big ship like BB, this missile would be very powerfull. Good ship but I am not sure for the Commandant rivière overhaul.Įxocet is a really good missile, and would have no problem to sink every DD or CL. Type : 4 x diesel SEMT-Pierstick PC-12 (16 000 HP)ģ x 100mm Dual purpose canons modèle 53 (3 x 1)Ģ x 40mm CAS mle 1951 (2 x 1) (French variant of the 40L60 BOFOR)Ģ x 100mm Dual purpose canons modèle 53 (2 x 1) Most of them were demolished or sunk as targets during the 1990's and early 2000's, the last two being the Amiral Charner and Commandant Bourdais, sold to Uruguay, which used them until 2005. They were used in a variety of missions between 19, including Pacific and Atlantic patrol, Soviet submarine searches, test bench and convoy escort. Their big size for an escort ship meant they were able to travel long distances and follow the WW2 ships that were still in activity in the French fleet at the time. The idea was to create a warship capable of maintaining peace and escorting convoys over the entire French oversea territories, and capable of facing any kind of threats in times of war such as Submarines, aircrafts, and later ships thanks to the installation of Exocet missiles. In total, 9 of them were launched between 19 : V ictor Schoelcher, Commandant Bory, Amiral Charner, Doudart de Lagrée, Balny, Commandant Rivière, Commandant Bourdais, Protet, and Enseigne de Vaisseau Henry. Their construction started in 1954, and they were all commissioned between 19.
They were called "Aviso-escorteur", or "Escort Sloops". The Commandant Rivière ships were among the first homemade designs born from that initiative. The idea was to slowly bring back French made equipment into the Marine Nationale, which was mostly relying on American or British made equipment since the end of the war. The 1950's in France saw the modernisation of their entire fleet, and the renewal of the French naval industry. Their versatility as well as their size makes them strong contender as late tier 2 warships with a firepower capable of protecting themselves against most of the targets at this br. These Cold War ships are heavy sloops armed with dual purpose AA canons (later AS missiles) and Anti-Submarine weapons. About this class and its interest in War Thunder
