The Jean de Vienne is a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French Marine Nationale. She is the third French vessel named after the XIVth Century admiral Jean de Vienne. Her complement is 20% female.

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.
