So, what's a "French warship" look like? Anyone got a picture? Yes, I know what I'm asking for.

It's the one with the propellers in the front...aids in rapid retreat.

Well, here's the
"Le Vengeur" being sunk by the Royal Navy in 1794.
Here's the French battleship
"Bouvet" being sunk by the Turkish guns in the Dardanelles, 1915.
Here's the Vichy France
"Dunkerque" being sunk by the British at Oran harbor in 1940

It's actually the Commandant Bouan, a small frigate intended for littoral combat. One of the lowest-tech French warship designs - most ships of its class have been sold to Turkey or decomissioned - but perfectly adequate for dealing with Somali pirates.

Reliable sources inform me that this Canadian Warship was purchased from the French Navy and the only modification they were required to make was to remove the permanently attached White Flag.

The difference?
Pirates hoist the Jolly Roger.
French ships hoist the White Flag (except when attacking Green peace...)
Cheers!

Pictured here is the France's Poodle-class warship "Redditon" [French for 'Surrender'] with crew of 5 entering port to be painted white before deployment to Somalia to take on the pirates.
