Stealthy French warship blows steam inbound to UK 🇫🇷 🇬🇧

A modern frigate with the French Navy arrives in Portsmouth, with no pennant number and an overall stealthy design. The FS Normandie blows steam from a side exhaust while inbound. The warship arrived on the 120th Anniversary of the Entente Cordiale.
The FS Normandie (D651) is the 6th Aquitaine-class frigate to be commissioned for the French Navy. The class were built under a joint ltalian-French programme known as the FREMM multipurpose frigate.
The French warship arrived on April 8th, the same day French and British soldiers participated in a changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. This fell on the 120th Anniversary of the Entente Cordiale, an agreement between France and Britain to work together.
Recorded: April 8th, 2024

Why is it venting steam ?

[@martynwoodward747]

Yea

[@squirepraggerstope3591]

One of the new Aquitaine Class frigates, by the look. An ASW variant, I think. They're quite impressive ships, of which France has six, plus another two optimised for the AAW role. Not quite as big, fast or well-armed as the Italian versions of the same design but pretty capable all the same and unlike too many of our own RN vessels, actually FULLY fitted with their designated weapons systems as well. NOT just left as "FFBNW" and so lacking half their intended armament due to a lying, verminous London establishment that cares more about virtue signalling than it cares about RN ships or crews.

[@andrewmein8003]

so why the steam

[@CobraEmergency]

I've been looking around to find out why and I'm perplexed.
