The Jean Bart (D615) is an anti-air frigate of the French Marine Nationale of the Cassard type. She is the 9th 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; thusly, some large ships, referred to as "frigates", are registered as destroyers.
