Vintage Solid Cast Brass Ships Plaque or Tompion French P400 Patrol La TAPAGEUSE Vintage Solid Cast Brass Ships Plaque or Tompion French P400 Patrol La TAPAGEUSE You are bidding on a vintage Solid Cast Brass Ships Plaque or Tompion French P400 ...Patrol Vessel, La TAPAGEUSE in good clean used condition.
The P400 patrol ships are small vessels of the French Navy. They were designed to accomplish police operations in the French Exclusive Economic Zone. They were built by the Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie, which specialise in small military craft. Two similar ships are in service in Gabon. The P400 were originally designed in two versions: one armed with Exocet MM38 missiles, and another public service version with a smaller 16-man complement; eventually neither of these versions was commissioned as the Navy chose an intermediate version.All of these craft were based in overseas territories (DOM/TOM) where they conducted sea monitoring missions and secured the EEZ. They also executed missions in the context of French agreements with other nations, typically supporting foreign armies or carrying out humanitarian missions. Since late 2008, ships of the D'Estienne d'Orves class, with their heavy armament removed, are planned to replace the P400 in the high sea patrol role, a task for which the P400 have proved to be underweight.[
Smaller than usually found at 80mm diameter; 12mm thickness.
Please note that this is not a resin item but a solid brass casting with good clean definition of the design.
Weight is 405g before safe packaging.
This auction will run to conclusion so no BIN offers please.
