Title: Albatros
Description: (French Destroyer, 1930) At Toulon between September 1948 and April 1951, showing her after superstructure and stern area. A 75mm anti-aircraft gun is visible at left, and small rangefinders are fitted atop the foundation of her after torpedo tubes. A German-type twin 105mm anti-aircraft gun mount and a second 75mm anti-aircraft gun are fitted atop the after deckhouse, with a 138mm gun on the main deck aft. Note the rowing cutter suspended from davits in the center of the photo. Albatros is tied up to the port side of the heavy cruiser Suffren, whose after two 203mm gun turrets are visible. The battleship Lorraine and light cruiser Emile Bertin (barely visible) are beyond Suffren. The original negative came from the Office of Naval Intelligence.
