The Full fit combines a forward 127 mm gun, an aft 76 mm gun, 16 cells for Aster 30 missiles, eight anti-ship missiles and torpedoes. Lighter fits leave some weapons uninstalled while retaining the spaces and design provisions needed to add them. This accounts for part of the displacement difference between variants. A double hangar accommodates two helicopters, and a stern ramp supports boat operations. The shared hull therefore does not imply that every ship carries the same weapons.
