Title: Le Triomphant
Description: (French Destroyer, 1934) At San Diego, California on 26 August 1941. She is wearing false bow wave camouflage, and carries a British type 4-inch anti-aircraft gun in place of the 5.5-inch low angle gun originally mounted in X position. There is a French Hotchkiss 13.2mm quad anti-aircraft machinegun mount atop the after superstructure, just forward of that 4-inch gun. Note the small civilian sailboat passing down Le Triomphant' starboard side. The original print came from the Office of Naval Intelligence. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
