Lamotte-Picquet (D 645)

The "Lamotte-Picquet" is a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French "Marine Nationale". She is the fourth French vessel named after the 18th Century admiral count Toussaint-Guillaume Picquet de la Motte (for other ships, see French ship "La Motte-Picquet").

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.
