Project history: Engine exhausts taken astern either side of the quarterdeck to discharge as one 15m astern, thus providing an IR decoy and allowing the ships to steam at 12 kts without using the propellers. 103mm RF launchers were mounted on the main gun mount sides.

Modernizations: 1978, both: + 9LV200 Mk 2 radar

1986, both: new sonar, ECM suite

Naval service: No significant events.
