The
Jean Bart (D615) is an anti-air frigate of the French
Marine Nationale of the
Cassard type. She is the ninth vessel of the French Navy named after the privateer
Jean Bart. She is the sister-ship of the
Cassard.
The
Jean Bart was fitted with a number of prototype equipements which were later incorporated in the
La Fayette type frigates.
Note: The French navy doesn't use the term "
destroyer" for its ships; thus, some large ships, referred to as "
frigates", are registered as destroyers.
