Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The French heavy cruiser Tourville at Casablanca, Morocco, circa August-November 1943. She has three aircraft on board: a Loire 130 flying boat on the catapult between her after stack and her mainmast, and two Latécoère 298 floatplanes stowed between the stacks. The U.S. Navy fleet oiler USS Cossatot (AO-77) is immediately beyond Tourville. A colonial sloop (either La Grandière or Savorgnan de Brazza is partially visible in the left distance. The ship beyond the sloop may be the destroyer Albatros, damaged during the U.S. landings at Casablanca on 8 November 1942.
Français : Le croiseur lourd français Tourville à Casablanca (Maroc), vers août-novembre 1943. Il a trois avions à bord : un hydravion "Loire 130" sur la catapulte entre son pilier et son mât principal, et deux hydravions "Latécoère 298" arrimés entre les piles. Le pétrolier américain USS Cossatot (AO-77) est au-delà du Tourville. Un sloop colonial ( La Grandière ou Savorgnan de Brazza ) est partiellement visible à gauche. Le navire au-delà du sloop est peut-être le destroyer Albatros endommagé lors du débarquement américain à Casablanca le 8 novembre 1942. |
