In this post, I include some of the infographics I made and published on social media, about new surface combatants that are under construction and about to enter service in the near future.

Hellenic Navy commissions its 7th and Final Roussen-class FACM

The Hellenic Navy (Πολεμικό Ναυτικό) named and commissioned its seventh and final Roussen-class (Super Vita) fast attack missile craft (FACM), HS Ypoploiarchos Vlahakos (P-79). The new boat was named after Lieutenant Panagiotis Vlahakos who lost his life on January 31, 1996 during the Imia crisis, when an AB 212 helicopter (PN 21) crashed into the sea. His brother Nikolaos Vlahakos christened the boat. My story for Naval News, here.
