The Lapérouse (A 791), sometimes spelled La Pérouse, is a hydrographic survey vessel, meaning a scientific ship that explores the sea floor in order to obtain a precise cartography, of the Lapérouse class of the French Navy. The vessel is deployed on the French coast^[1], or in foreign waters within the framework of international cooperation^[2]. It is fitted with electric propulsion and a hydrographic winch that allows it to perform oceanographic work.

History

Laid down on June 11, 1985 and launched on November 15, 1986, the hydrographic vessel Lapérouse entered into service on April 20, 1988. It is the first vessel of this type.

Based in Brest, the Lapérouse performs hydrographic work for the Naval Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOM), although since June 2, 2000 it is hierarchically attached to the Naval Action Force (FAN).

The principal mission of hydrographic vessels is scientific, but these ships are military. During their deployment they may confront sensitive situations: encounter pirates, respond to terrorist threats, evacuate citizens, or rescue seamen in distress^[3]. These ships may also, from time to time, participate in action of the French State at sea by performing border patrol missions.

The patron city of Lapérouse is Albi (Tarn) since Octobre 7, 1988.
