[PAR35]

The French navy doesn’t seem to have a ship of that name.

The form of the name would indicate it would be a Type A69, but here’s their list of that type:

Avisos type A69

* Aviso Lieutenant de vaisseau Le Hénaff (F 789)
* Aviso Lieutenant de vaisseau Lavallée (F 790)
* Aviso Commandant l’Herminier (F 791)
* Aviso Premier maître l’Her (F 792)
* Aviso Commandant Blaison (F 793)
* Aviso Enseigne de vaisseau Jacoubet (F 794)
* Aviso Commandant Ducuing (F 795)
* Aviso Commandant Birot (F 796)
* Aviso Commandant Bouan (F 797)

It’s possible that it’s a new ship and they haven’t updated their website yet. But we are talking a known unreliable source. A google of “Le Commandant Rouen” turns up only this story.

I consider it more ‘creative writing’ until there’s a legitimate source.

Might look a little like

It’s probably the Commandant Bouan, as misheard over the telephone. Would make sense given the role.

I think bad sourcing and a total lack of fact-checking is more likely than it being made up from whole cloth, but yeah, I concur...total crap until proven otherwise.
