Primauguet was a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French Marine Nationale. She was the sixth French vessel named after the 15th century captain Hervé de Portzmoguer. She was one of the seven anti-submarine frigates made of the same class as the french frigate Latouche-Tréville[2] She was decommissioned in April 2019. 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.
