The US made Oliver Hazard Perry and the controversial LCS frigates need replacement I guess. It says something that US designed ships are being replaced with a southern European design. The theme of US manufacturing being outsourced has been around for a while and is getting worse.
Yeah, but that's not the theme that Duchess64 is not-so-clandestinely going for with this thread, is it?

I don't think it's the same ship.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FREMM_multipurpose_frigate

A third anti-air warfare variant of FREMM was proposed by DCNS in response to French requirements for a new air-defence frigate, the new variant became known as FREDA ("FREgates de Défense Aériennes", "Air defence frigate"😉. This new French requirement was due to the third and fourth Horizon-class frigates being cancelled after the first two cost €1.35B each, but this decision left French Navy still in-need of replacements for its ageing Cassard-class air-defence frigates
