List of French current frigates

This is a list of frigates in service with the French Navy as of 2020:

First rank Frigates

The French Navy does not use the term "destroyer"; thus, some large ships of the first rank (like Horizon) are designated "frigates", though they are registered as destroyers (with hull numbers "Dxxx").
