Construction Of The BRF Jacques Stosskopf - Saint-Nazaire

The Jacques Stosskopf, the second Bâtiment Ravitailleur de Forces (BRF) of the French Navy, is seen docked at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire. Launched on August 19, 2024, this 194-meter vessel is set to undergo sea trials in spring 2025, with delivery expected in summer 2025. Designed to replace the aging Durance-class tankers, the BRF will ensure fuel, ammunition, and supply support for naval operations worldwide. Named in honor of Jacques Stosskopf, a French naval engineer and resistance fighter, the ship pays tribute to his courage and sacrifice during World War II. Stosskopf, who secretly aided the Allies while working at the Lorient submarine base, was executed by the Nazis in 1944 for espionage. Saint-Nazaire, France – March 22, 2025.
