Quite the dreadnaught the Frenchies have there in that "Flagship" battle wagon.La Somme was operating 250 nautical miles (460 kilometres) off the Somali coast, on its way to resupply fuel to frigates patrolling shipping lanes as part of the European Union's Operation Atalanta anti-piracy mission.
They use it primarily as a tanker.
