As such, the design of the French BRF design is based on the Italian Navy LSS (Vulcano-class) designed by Fincantieri. About French Navy’s BRF Replenishment TankerThis artist impression shows the latest design of the future BRF replenishment tanker of the French Navy. They will replace the current single-hulled Durance-class tankers of the French Navy that entered active service in the 1970s and 80s. Differences between French BRF and Italian VulcanoThe French BRF will be slightly larger than the Italian Vulcano (194 meters in length and 31,000 tons full load displacement compared to 193 meters and 27,200 tons).
