The F67 type is a class of high-sea frigates of the French Navy specialised in anti-submarine warfare. They have anti-air and anti-surface capabilities.
The three ships of the class, D612 De Grasse, D611 Duguay-Trouin (decommissioned on the 13th of July 1999) and the D610 Tourville, are named after famous French sailors.
Between 1994 and 1996, the Tourville and the De Grasse were refitted with the modern SLAMS anti-submarine system, an active Very Low Frequencies sonar.
