GREECE NAMES NEW FRIGATES AFTER GREEK NAVAL COMMANDERS




 Greece announced that it named the three modern frigates it will acquire from France after ancient Greek naval commanders.

The three FM frigates will be named Cimon, who rose to prominence for his bravery in the naval battle of Salamis in 480 BC, Nearchus an admiral in the navy of Alexander the Great and Phormion an Athenian admiral who took part in the Peloponnesian War.

In this symbolic move, Greece celebrates the great naval history of the nation from ancient times to modernity
