The Hellenic Navy's (HN's) seventh Roussen (Super Vita)-class fast attack craft-missile (FAC-M), HS Ypoploiarchos Vlahakos (P 79), was commissioned into service during a ceremony held at Amfiali Naval Base on 29 September.

Ypoploiarchos Vlahakos is the final ship in the much-delayed Roussen-class construction programme, which dates back to 2000 when the first batch of three was ordered from Elefsis Shipyards. Options for the second batch of two were exercised in 2003, followed by a contract for the sixth and seventh boats in 2008.

UK shipbuilder Vosper Thornycroft (now part of BAE Systems) provided the design – a stretched version of its Super Vita corvettes in service with Qatar – as well as logistical support and equipment for the programme.
