Garonne is a metropolitan offshore support and assistance vessel (bâtiments de soutien et d’assistance métropolitains or BSAM) and the final ship of the Loire-class. It was ordered in 2016 for the French Navy (Marine Nationale), designed and built by the Kership shipyard in Brittany.

Garonne was delivered on July 4th 2019 and is conducting its long cruise, a long duration deployment before formally entering active service in early 2020.
