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. She is involved in operations off Libya.
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.
