Wow! Is there a site for this Fleet Review?
Picture of these vessels passing in review or in formation?
Sounds really neat and I would love to see that many French vessels at sea together.
FREMM program :
Planned 11 sure 8, French Navy want absolutely 2 AAW variant* because for escort the 4 CVN/BPC Mistral have need 4 AAW ships with the 2 Forbin.
Then in the beginning with 11 planned AAW were the 10 and 11th but now to be sure to have she are 7th and 8th in the list.
Normandie 2nd normaly in service for this year after have make a test shot with a CM, MDCN.
Test already succeeded on a platform on the ground.
* Bretagne and Lorraine based to Toulon.

Well, I would think that they would want two for the CVN, perhaps one Forbin and one FREMM AAW.
At leat one any time a Mistral goes to sea, preferably two for one of them too.
List in part :
CVN Charles de Gaulle
DDG/FFG Forbin, Chevalier Paul same class, Jean Bart, Jean de Vienne ( Georges Leygues Class ), Aconit et Guépratte ( La Fayette )
CO Commandant Birot ( A 69 )
SN Perle
LHD Tonnerre
CS Meuse
Morocco CO Tariq ben Ziad
