Vichey’s Fleet

(Winnipeg Free Press)

The Hench fleet has it last to face the consequence of crossing the bar to flght for the Germans. 1t 1s not the fleet. tint fought alongside the Brftlsh at the start of the war, but It should not b: smallcrthan was the portfon that ceased fire when ordered to do so by Admiral Darlan 1n 1940. It may b6 increased 1n submarine and other small craft.

Around last March the Hench fleet was regarded a! capable of tipping the balance of naval power tn favor of the Axl-s. Vlchy itself must have alternated 1n a belle! and lack ofbeltef 1n thlscsttmate, but Berlin appears to have held to the conviction that. 1f Its sailors could man the French ships, con- trol ln the Mediterranean could be wrested from the Allles for all

time. But Vichy knew the use tol

which the Germans would at its

fleet and was fully aware at Its own bargaining power would be reduced 1f deprived of the we ht of the fleet. Now the issue as been decldcd. not by Vichy or Berlin, but London and Wusn- fngton. Both lost the lnltlat-lvo .that for a. time could choose the best time for the Hench ﬂeet w put to sea to Issue a vlc y

The components o! the ‘noon fleet which ran Into French nar- bors in 1940 may be renter 1n actual strength today t an then, but its collective strength Ls d1- lutcd by the dispersion of 1s strips.

Recent rumors of movement-s of French ships or various types makes s clflc allocation of fleet to ay difficult, but t movements, carried out or not, cattnol; alter the known combo- nents of the fleet or materially change the grouping of the strips. They are mainly located at Tou- lon, but the rest are scattered along the coastline of north and west Africa. with a. handy, fore-s held tn Martinique, 1n the West Indies

The larger assemblage at. ‘Pou- lou rcmalng much as It was 1n 19-10 after the affair of Mcrs-El- Keblr. the French naval base near Oran. There can have been little increase 1n capital ships slnca then, although 1t Ls probable that submarines and other small craft have been added. Construction activity at Toulon was fevevlsh last spring and was kept going 24 tiours daily.

Details of the fleet then sta- tioned at Toulon reasonably agree in the naval reports given of them. The strength they indicate must bear perttnently on the actions Admiral I-Iarwood—of Graf Soee fame-now contemplates 1n the Mediterranean, if these actions are not already being fought.

Vichy held

the ese

In Toulon harbor thrce battleships. four cruisers. 28 destroyers and somé 40 to 50 sub- marines. Two of the battleships. the Strasbourg and the Dun- kcrque, are of 26,000 tonnage and are new and modern. The Pro- vence is of 22.020 tonnége. [he cruisers include Duplclx. Foch, Algcrie and Prlmauget. The de- stroyirs are said to number 28 or 30. The larger part. of the 90 submarines listed in the Vichy tiaval strength are probably lald up at Tculon.‘ . ‘

The dispersal of French ships

emailed considerable strength bc- ing based on Casablanca and Da- kar. If the Americans did not find all these warships at Casa- aalatica, 1t i5 pretty certain they [sank or captured most of them. lBesldcs the battleship, Jean Bart, of 35.000 tons, recently competed sister snip of Rlchellzu, thc-re were these ci-ulscrs: Colbert, La Galtssotmlcre, Georges YEygutcs, Ln Guolre, Montcalm and Marsei- lalse Besides these ships there was a 12-000-ton aircraft carrier. Of the submarines based on Casa- blanca. three were known to be big enough to cross the Atlantic.

The battleship. Rlchellcu, 35.000 tons, was allowed to move from

Toulon to Dakar, a long way off on the west coast of Africa, and ls stll! the nucleus of some con- siderable naval strength there, mostly thought to be undresca craft.

At such various ports as Oran. Algiers, Btzerte and others belong- ing to France ln North Africa, other small squadrons have been Jocatt-d. These and the compla- lment demobillzed at Alexandria tmake quite a hole In the naval ‘strength Vichy might, under more favorable circumstances, have assembled at Toulon for the pre- sent emergency.

Instead, the former Hench ships at. Alexandria can now be manned by the British. Thls small squad- ron would be effective aid m maklng good the strength the Brltlsh have had difficulty 1n amassing 1n the easlwrn Meditat- ranean. The squd ts

sed of the battleship Lorraine. our cruisers, ten destroyer; and two submarines.

'I'he conse uenoes of the g- naclty of Dar an's admiral at, an

were avoided by the French l-d- mtral. Godefroy. at AJexu-ndrfn. Instead of fnvf heavy loss of ufe. he agreed to having his squadron demoblllzed and kept In ting ‘about the harbor of Alex- im r .

This was polntcdlv alluded to by Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham when he rellnqulshed hls Mediterranean command to take up the Brftldh naval representation at Washing- wn. but. recent events may haw converted the French crews to m nttltude the reverse of having to fight for their standing enemy, the German.

What, action the United Nations will take toward Martinique 1n the West Indles has not been re- vealed, but It. can scarcely avoid taking over the two French crut- scrs and aircraft carrier still In port. there. ‘me cruisers are Jeanne D’Arc and Emile Bertln, land the curler Beam.
