During NAVDEX 2013 Navy Recognition interviewed Commander (French Navy) Sacha Bailly, Commanding Officer of the L'Adroit OPV.
Thanks to this proven expertise in warship design and integration of naval systems, DCNS designed and developed a new family of ocean-capable patrol vessels, named Gowind®. Gowind vessels are an exceptional tool for missions ranging from counter-piracy to sea control and denial including anti-submarine warfare operations. They have been designed to be simple to operate, easy to maintain and efficient. Gowind® platforms and mission systems can be tailored to customer requirements for an optimum trade-off between homeland security and naval combat capabilities.
On the occasion of IDEX/NAVDEX, L'Adroit welcomed visitors and delegations. During previous stopovers, many navies around the world have been favourably impressed by L'Adroit and recognised the operational benefits of the Gowind® range.
OPV Gowind L'Adroit was built under a self-funded DCNS programme in conjunction with equipment manufacturers contributing high-performance products. OPV Gowind L'Adroit is lent to the French Navy so that it can evaluate the ship and its systems.
