Montcalm was a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French Marine Nationale. The French Navy does not use the term "destroyer" for any of its ships; hence some of the larger ships, referred to as "frigates", are registered as destroyers. She was the fourth French vessel named after the 18th century general marquess Louis de Montcalm de Saint Véran.
