It is also of particular Greek interest, as it is the first time that parts of a warship destined for a foreign fleet have been built in Greece, at the Salamis Shipyards facilities.<\/p>\n<p>This is a development of particular symbolism and essential importance for the Greek shipbuilding industry, which proves that it now has the know-how, reliability and production capabilities to participate in complex defence programmes of high technology and international scope.<\/p>\n<p>The participation of Salamis Shipyards in the FDI frigate programme is a vote of confidence from the Naval Group, one of the leading European shipbuilding and defence groups. This cooperation confirms that the Greek industry can stand on an equal footing with major international manufacturers, making a substantial contribution to the implementation of demanding equipment programmes.<\/p>\n<h3>The French frigate &#8220;Amiral Louzeau&#8221;<br \/><\/h3>\n<p>For the people of Salamina Shipyards, this moment is a source of particular pride and a vindication of a long-standing effort to continuously upgrade their capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The launching of the &#8220;Amiral Louzeau&#8221; is thus more than just another step in the French shipbuilding program. It is tangible proof that Greek industry can actively participate in projects of strategic importance, leaving its own imprint on one of the most modern warships in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First participation of Greek shipyards in an international high-tech frigate programme, with the construction of parts of the FDI &#8220;Amiral Louzeau&#8221; for the French &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6610,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
