On the 20 January, the French frigate JACOUBET finished as an EUNAVFOR warship after 33 days proudly flying the European Flag.
She has conducted a variety of tasks in the force and has demonstrated a proactive attitude to face all challenges in order to achieve the objectives of Operation ATALANTA.
