Latouche-Tréville (D 646)

The "Latouche-Tréville" is a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French "Marine Nationale". She is the third French vessel named after the 19th century politician and admiral Louis-René Levassor de Latouche Tréville (see French ship "Latouche-Tréville" for 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 does not use the term "destroyer" for its ships. Thus, some large ships, referred to as "frigates", are registered as destroyers.

In November 2006, the Latouche-Tréville visited London on diplomatic duties, and was moored alongside the Second World War cruiser, HMS Belfast.
