La marine Française est la quatrième flotte mondiale.
Elle est l'une des plus moderne et puissante de cette époque.
De septembre 1939 à juin 1940 elle ne réussit pas à porter ombrage à la flotte allemande.
En presque parfait état en 1940, Winston Churchill eut peur qu'elle tombe aux mains des forces de l'Axe : allemand japonais et italiens.
Afin qu'elle ne puisse pas servir à l'invasion de l'Angleterre par Hitler, seront engagées diverses opération navales destinées à la détruire : bombardement des navires français stationnés à dakar puis l'opération Catapult à Mers-El-Kebir en juillet 1940.puis l'opération Catapult

The French Navy is the fourth largest fleet in the world.
It is one of the most modern and powerful of this era.
From September 1939 to June 1940 she did not manage to shade the German fleet.
In almost perfect condition in 1940, Winston Churchill was afraid that it would fall into the hands of the Axis forces: German, Japanese and Italian.
So that it could not be used for Hitler's invasion of England, various naval operations intended to destroy it were launched: bombing of French ships stationed at Dakar and then Operation Catapult at Mers-El-Kebir in July 1940 after the Catapult operation
