Algérie
After the construction of two series of Duquesne- and Suffren-class cruisers, built under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, the task given to designers was to develop a ship with enhanced armor that could withstand 155 mm shells at a distance of up to 15 km (horizontal) and 20 km (vertical). The cruiser differed from her predecessors by her shorter and wider flush-deck hull, and her propulsion was implemented according to a linear scheme. At the beginning of World War II, Algérie participated in patrol and escort missions, including escorting ships with gold.
