French frigate Enseigne de Vaisseau Henry

Enseigne de Vaisseau Henry (F749) is a Commandant Rivière-class frigate in the French Navy.

A posting on a Aviso-escort was a boarding sought after by sailors because it was a guarantee of campaigning overseas and visiting the country.

Four other similar units were built at Ateliers et Chantiers de Bretagne (ACB) in Nantes for the Portuguese Navy under the class name João Belo.

[4] In 1973, an experimental helicopter platform was installed above the rear deck, to be then dismantled in 1979, to reinstall its old 100 mm gun.

[5] Provisionally anchored in the Landévennec ship cemetery awaiting dismantling, it left the scene on September 12, 2015 for the military port of Brest, where it was prepared for its transfer which took place on February 25, 2016, to the shipyard of Ghent, Belgium, to be deconstructed by the Franco-Belgian group Galloo.
