The keel-laying ceremony for Dixmude, the third Mistral-class Bâtiment de Projection et de Commandement (Projection and Command Ship, BPC) ship ordered by the French Navy, took place January 20 in Saint Nazaire, western France.
Maybe it's replacing the ship the French are selling to the Russians?
The ship’s name was chosen by Defence Minister Hervé Morin last December, and refers to the 1914 victory by French marine infantry during a battle in the eponymous town in Belgium.
