Naval Group

Naval Group is a major French industrial group specializing in naval defense and shipbuilding. The company designs, builds, and maintains submarines, surface combatants, and naval systems. Recent news highlights Naval Group's continued importance to the French military. Specifically, the French army has ordered a fifth frégate de défense et d'intervention (FDI) from Naval Group, demonstrating confidence in their capabilities for high-intensity combat vessel construction. Furthermore, Arabelle Solutions, an EDF subsidiary, has been selected by Naval Group to provide the nuclear turbines for the future French aircraft carrier "France Libre."
