After German Naval Yards had already shown off its "Seaguard 96", the design for a future environmentally friendly corvette combat ship, at the SMM maritime technology trade fair in Hamburg a month ago, Group Naval was now able to present its vision for an even more futuristic-looking ship on home turf in Le Bourget near Paris at EuroNaval.

Since the aircraft carrier returned to Portsmouth Naval Base at the beginning of September, the ship's engineers have been working...
