Italy’s Finantieri and France’s Naval Group will jointly bid to sell the FREMM frigate to Canada.

The frigatec had been jointly developed by both countries for use in their navies but has since then been marketed separately—Italy is pitching the vessel to Australia while France has sold units to Egypt and Morocco. The Royal Canadian Navy is looking for 15 such frigates.
