Moroccan frigate Mohammed VI

Mohammed VI (701) (Arabic: محمد السادس) is a FREMM multipurpose frigate of the Royal Moroccan Navy.

A total of 27 FREMM were to be constructed - 17 for France and 10 for Italy - with additional aims to seek exports, however budget cuts and changing requirements has seen this number drop significantly for France, while the order for Italy remained unchanged.
