The '''FMM''' ("Frigate Multi-Mission"; Merovingian: ''Frégate multi-mission''; Sylvan: ''Fregata multi-missione'') is a class of multi-mission frigates designed in the late-1980s and built throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s. The ships were designed with industry support by the AVA Committee on Frigate Replacement known as AVAC-FR. The ships were designed to give AVA states a single platform multi-purpose frigate to replace "medium range" air-defense warships like the {{wpl|Durand de la Penne-class destroyer|''Durand de la Penne''-class}} used by the Sylvan Navy and the [[''Vercingétorix''-class]] used by the [[Sieuxerrian Navy]] and also primarily ASW warships like the {{wpl|Maestrale-class frigate|''Maestrale''-class}} and [[''Charlemagne''-class]]. | The '''FMM''' ("Frigate Multi-Mission"; Merovingian: ''Frégate multi-mission''; Sylvan: ''Fregata multi-missione'') is a class of multi-mission frigates designed in the late-1980s and built throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s.

The FMM ("Frigate Multi-Mission"; Merovingian: Frégate multi-mission; Sylvan: Fregata multi-missione) is a class of multi-mission frigates designed in the late-1980s and built throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s. The ships were designed with industry support by the AVA Committee on Frigate Replacement known as AVAC-FR. The ships were designed to give AVA states a single platform multi-purpose frigate to replace "medium range" air-defense warships like the Durand de la Penne-class used by the Sylvan Navy and the ''Vercingétorix''-class used by the Sieuxerrian Navy and also primarily ASW warships like the Maestrale-class and ''Charlemagne''-class.
The FMM would spearhead a number of new sensors and weapon systems while also retaining legacy systems to help reduce costs and increase interoperability between allied nations. In the Sieuxerrian Navy it is known as the Aventurier-class and in the Sylvan Navy as the Mamamiapizzapie-class.
