Mohammed V (611) is a Floréal-class frigate of the Royal Moroccan Navy. The ship was the first to be constructed for Morocco by Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire, France, from 1999 to 2001. The frigate entered service in 2002. Mohammed V is the first of two Floréal-class frigates in Moroccan service, the other being Hassan II.
