FS Georges Leygues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (460 words)
The Georges Leygues is a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French Marine Nationale.
In 1981, the Georges Leygues and the fleet escort Guépratte, cruising in front of an allied fleet during training sessions, detected a Soviet submarine, which they chased during 19 hours.
A rare instance of submarine warfare occurred, the Soviet submarine trying running at 28 knots and diving under the sonar of the Georges Leygues to try and avoid detection, before she was forced to surface, being formally identified as a Victor class submarine by the on-board Lynx WG13.
