Our second overseas territories fleet is the Gallic force based in French Guiana. Composed again of older second-line vessels (fewer turrets, more barbettes), the craft patrol the environs of the Guianese territory for pirates and smugglers, and occasional incursions by the British if they decide it’s time to test out the French defences.<\/p>\n
