A first upgraded frigate will be delivered in 2021.<br\/><br\/> The anti-submarine capability will be fitted with a hull-mounted sonar and anti-torpedo countermeasures, the DGA said.\u00a0A spokesman declined to comment on the value of the contract.<br\/><br\/>Adding the antisubmarine capability boosts the La Fayette to the first rank listing of warships.<br\/><br\/> The work on the ship includes a general overhaul of the hull and combat systems. The electronic and computer systems for managing the ship will be upgraded, while the combat management system will be replaced with a version adapted from that fitted on the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.<u3:p><\/u3:p><br\/><br\/> Other upgrades include the tactical datalink and a replacement of the Crotale missile with two Sadral launchers, the DGA said.<u3:p><\/u3:p><br\/><br\/> Thales supplies the anti-air Crotale weapon, while a Sadral launcher fires MBDA Mistral missiles.<u3:p><\/u3:p><br\/><br\/> Nathalie Smirnov, DCNS director for services, welcomed the launch of the upgrade.<u3:p><\/u3:p><br\/><br\/> &#8220;This is a significant operation which has never before been undertaken on this type of frigate,&#8221; she said in a DCNS statement.<u3:p><\/u3:p><br\/><br\/> The decision to upgrade La Fayette was taken at a ministerial investment committee meeting and follows last month&#8217;s launch of work on the intermediate frigate, in a deal worth \u20ac3.8 billion ($4.2 billion). The aim is to equip the French Navy with a fleet of 15 first rank frigates until an initial intermediate frigate is delivered in 2023.\u00a0<u3:p><\/u3:p><br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Direction G\u00e9n\u00e9rale de l\u2019Armement (DGA) announced the award to DCNS for the modernization
