She visited Gibraltar during the Spring Cruise 1955 and we "Undine" berthed alongside her , to a very young Sparker at that time she seemed to be ginormous , and was . A fantastic sight as she sailed . I came across her again when the invasion fleet gathered in Cyprus and she led us on our way to Suez in 1956 .

In 1956 during the Suez "action", JEAN BART fired her only 4 15" shots postwar. IIRC, only B turret was functional as was 1 of the triple 6" turrets. DFO
