Chantiers de l'Atlantique launched the French Navy's first new batiments ravitailleurs de forces (BRF) logistic support ship (LSS), Jacques Chevallier (A 725), at its shipyard in Saint-Nazaire on 29 April.

The French Navy has ordered four BRFs under a EUR1.7 billion (USD1.94 billion) contract awarded to a consortium comprising Chantiers de l'Atlantique and Naval Group by the Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation (OCCAR) on behalf of French procurement agency DGA and its Italian counterpart NAVARM in January 2019.

Chantiers de l'Atlantique is building the aft sections of the four ships at its yard in Saint-Nazaire and is responsible for the overall production and outfitting of the ships, while Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has been subcontracted to build the forward sections of the ships in Italy. Naval Group is responsible for the design, development, and integration of the combat system, which is centred around its Polaris combat management system.
