Duguay-Trouin

After researching the German designs and receiving information on the characteristics of the American Omaha cruisers, the project for the reconnaissance cruiser was revised. The final requirements for the project included armament of eight 155 mm guns in four turrets and a displacement of 8,000 tons. During World War II, Duguay-Trouin participated in patrol operations in the Atlantic and the landings of Allied forces in the south of France.
