Design and description
The Georges Leygues-class ships were designed as anti-submarine (ASW) escorts for the fleet.Template:Sfn They had an overall length of Script error: No such module "convert"., a beam of Template:Cvt and a draught of Template:Cvt. The ships had a standard displacement of Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert". at full load. The Georges Leyguess' propulsion machinery used a CODOG configuration with one SEMT-Pielstick 16PA6-V280 diesel engine and a Rolls-Royce Olympus TM3B gas turbine were coupled to each of the two propeller shafts. The diesels were used for speeds under Script error: No such module "convert". and the gas turbines for sprints up to Script error: No such module "convert".. The diesels were rated at a total of Script error: No such module "convert". and the turbines at a total of Template:Cvt.Template:Sfn The combination give the ships a range of Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert".. The frigates had a complement of 216 sailors.Template:Sfn
The primary anti-ship weapon of the Georges Leyguess consisted of four single box launchers for MM38 Exocet anti-ship missiles, located aft of the funnel with two launchers on each broadside. The frigates were designed with a single Script error: No such module "convert". Modèle 1968 dual-purpose gun in a single-gun turret forward of the superstructure. They were also equipped with two Template:Cvt guns. The ships were fitted with a octuple Crotale anti-aircraft missile launcher with 26 reloads located on the aft superstructure. The anti-submarine| (ASW) weapons of the Georges Leygues-class ships consisted of two torpedo launchers , one on each side of the ship. Each ship carried ten torpedoes. The ships were designed to carry helicopters, a pair of Westland Lynx ASW helicopters in a double hangar at the stern.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn
They were completed with a DRBV 51C search radar, a DRBC 32E fire-control radar and a DRBV 26 early-warning radar. For anti-submarine warfare, they were equipped with a DUBV 23B hull-mounted sonar and DUBV 43B towed variable depth sonar. For electronic defence, the vessels mounted two Syllex chaff launchers. The SENIT 4 tactical data system coordinated sensor data.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn
Construction and career
Dupleix was built by the Arsenal de Brest with her keel being laid down on 17 October 1975. The vessel was launched on 2 December 1978 and was commissioned on 13 June 1981.Template:Sfn The ship was decommissioned in 2014, and taken to Saint-Mandrier, to replace the ex-Rance at the diving school located there.[1]
