In the recent years– in the European counter-piracy Operation, France has been contributing a vital part from early 2009.
On September 28, the French Navy redeployed its Frigate La Fayette in Operation Atalanta to join the other European Naval Forces in the EU NAVFOR for the ongoing Operation. Marking it not the first time, the multi-task Naval vessel carrying the name of General la Fayette has been previously in several rotational terms deployed in EU NAVFOR for combating the piracy and reinforcing the Maritime Security in the Indian Oceans and gulf of Aden.
