ww2dbaseBretagne was the lead ship of her class of French battleships, named after the Brittany region of France. She served in WW1. Originally built as a coal-burning ship, she was converted to partially use oil power in the 1920s, raising her power output from 29,000 to 43,000-horsepower and her speed from 20 to 21 knots. In 1940, upon the German conquest of France, she sailed to Mers-el-Kébir, Algeria. Fearing the French fleet would be used against the Allies, British Royal Navy Force H launched Operation Catapult against the French fleet at Mers-el-Kébir first. During the battle, Bretagne was disabled, then sunk, by British naval gunfire. 977 men lost their lives as the result of that battle. The ship was salvaged in 1942 for scrapping.
