Project history
All these French destroyers were scuttled in Toulon and later salvaged by Italians. Le Hardi was renamed FR37, Foudroyant FR36, L`Adroit FR33, Lansquenet FR34, Sirocco FR32 and Bison FR35. Later they all were captured by Germans and scuttled. Only FR33 was returned to France but in very bad condition.
