Two Janus Mercenaries in the cargo hold on the Frigate.
Ditto, in the XBLA version.
The Frigate 'La Fayette' is a French ship carrying the Pirate stealth helicopter. It is the 7th mission in the game. The guards here carry D5K Deutsches and Phantoms. Hostage Naval Officers need to be rescued for total mission success.

Multiplayer[]
Frigate was, at least for a time, planned for inclusion in multiplayer as evidenced by the string dest alongside the other multiplayer stage strings. A multiplayer GameShark setup for the stage was created by bmw.
Trivia[]
- Frigate's pre-release name was originally Destroyer.
- It is important to remember on Secret Agent/00 Agent that Bond has to use the weapon firing function button with the Bomb Defuser at the C4 Plastiques. Approaching a plastique and pressing the reload function button will result in Bond detonating the Plastique, failing the mission and possibly killing him. This is based off of Q's Branch Briefing:
...Take care, 007, and be certain to use the bomb defuser correctly.
- C4 explosives in Frigate, do not explode the same way as they do in Silo, rather like normal explosions.
- Frigate bears little resemblance to the La Fayette and has a ship number of 06 instead of F701. The vessel most closely resembles an American Kidd or British Sheffield-Class destroyer, though it may have been based on the American Garcia or Brooke-Class frigates.
- Xenia Onatopp was originally supposed to appear in the Frigate mission, according to the briefing. The level contains an inactive spawn for the "Helicopter Pilot" NPC, indicating this was probably supposed to be Xenia.
- The Carrier level in the Wii re-imagining and DS version resembles the Frigate level.
- Moneypenny's section of the briefing in the beta version of GoldenEye 007, stated:
You know what I'm worried about, James.
I won't be a bit impressed if you let that Xenia woman get Onatopp of you.
This briefing was removed and revised in the final game, as Moneypenny comments Onatopp's "thighs of steel" and recommends Bond to "stay out of their grasp.":
Xenia Onatopp, one of Janus' main operatives, may be on board the La Fayette.
They say she has thighs of steel, James. Just be sure to stay out of their grasp.
