Hello

Can anyone note any French Navy accidents that occurred in the inter war period?

I have the loss of submarines PROMETHEE and PHENIX and the collision of BISON, but I would imagine (comparing to the RN) that would be others of a less dramatic, but still important, circumstance.

Thank you.

Geez the captain certainly was held accountable for the loss of this ship. Guess the sentences are harsher when there isn't a war on and the navy is competing for every dollar
