I highly doubt those ships would stand up to modern forces.
Checked a little more and there are 3 French ships out there with USS Donald Cook and the Russians have noted that once a NATO warship has done its 21 days, it leaves and is replaced by one or more.
The French ships include "Dupuy de Lôme" and "Dupleix". They are joined by Alize soon.
They wont have enough.....and even if those ships can't stand up to modern forces. They can be used.....adding that much more air defense and to be used as diversions. The Russians by themselves are out numbering us 5 to 1.....if not more.
