The Montcalm is a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French Marine Nationale. She is the fourth French vessel named after the 18th century Marshal marquess Louis de Montcalm de Saint Véran (see French ship Montcalm for the others).
There are seven ships in the F70 class :
- D640 Georges Leygues
- D641 Dupleix
- D642 Montcalm
- D643 Jean de Vienne
- D644 Primauguet
- D645 La Motte Picquet
- D646 Latouche-Tréville
Note: The French navy doesn't use the term "destroyer" for its ships; hence some large ships, referred to as "frigates", are registered as destroyers.
