Lead Ship, Armoured Cruiser Gueydon pictured under refit at Arsenal de Brest in 1923..In 1941, her hull was used at Brest by the Germans (with two old French Sloops) to form the basis for a decoy-dummy of Prinz Eugen. The hulk of Gueydon was bombed by aircraft from the RAF's 617 Squadron on August 13th-14th 1944, along with the other hulks at Brest, to prevent them from being used by the Germans as Blockships. The wreck was broken up after the end of the war.
