Comment

The Dupleix is a Suffren-class heavy cruiser launched by the French Navy between the wars. She was named after Joseph François Dupleix, former governor of Pondicherry. Like many French warships, she was scuttled at Toulon in 1942. The Italians refloated her on July 3, 1943, and she was finally sunk by an Allied raid in 1944. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)
