The USS Ponce (AFSB(I)-15) standing for Afloat Forward Staging Base (Interim) is a former Austin class of amphibious transport dock. It has been converted to serve as mother ship and floating Base for mine counter-measure and coastal patrol vessels, as well as helicopter support. The Ponce also serves as a testbed platform for the Laser Weapon System (LaWS). LaWS is a prototype laser weapon system said to be effective against drones and small watercraft. The LaWS was deployed on the Ponce to the Persian Gulf in late August 2014.

Allal Ben Abdellah is a SIGMA 9813 corvette built by Damen in the Netherlands. Morocco ordered two SIGMA 9813 and one larger SIGMA 10514 from DAMEN in February 2008. The three SIGMA-class frigates for the Royal Moroccan Navy have been designed according to Schelde Naval Shipbuilding's revolutionary SIGMA-approach (Ship Integrated Geometrical Modularity Approach) and are a further development of the SIGMA-corvettes for the Indonesian Navy. The SIGMA approach applies modularity in many areas. The Royal Moroccan Navy SIGMA Class frigates are equipped to conduct the traditional naval tasks as well as maritime security operations. The vessels are also suited to support humanitarian aid operations.

The French Navy's La Fayette Class multipurpose stealth frigates were developed and built by DCNS. The La Fayette Class incorporates a number of stealth features – the sides of the vessel are sloped at 10° to minimize radar cross section, surfaces are made of alloy, reinforced plastic and kevlar. The profiles of external features have been reduced. The La Fayette class was designed primarily to protect and enforce the interests of the French state in its maritime areas and overseas territories, to participate in the settlement of crises outside Europe, and to be integrated into a naval force. Secondary roles for this class include providing support for an intervention force or the protection of commercial traffic and special operations or humanitarian missions support.
