The Kimon class, also known as the FDI HN, is a frigate class for the Hellenic Navy. The FDI HN is a more heavily armed version of the French frigates. The lead ship was originally expected to be commissioned in early 2025, however the sea trials are expected to complete by late 2025, after which the handover will take place.
