On March 19, the French Navy commissioned the experimental patrol vessel L’Adroit.

Fitted with a significant number of technical innovations, the ship was handed over to the navy on Oct. 21, 2011, for a three-year trial period, during which she will carry out a wide variety of naval missions such as fisheries inspection and protection, anti-drugs operations, environmental protection, humanitarian assistance, and search and rescue at sea.
