Title: North African Invasion
Description: November 1942 The incomplete French battleship Jean Bart at Casablanca, Morocco on 16 November 1942, showing damage from 16-inch shells and 1000-pound bombs inflicted in action with U.S. Navy forces on 8 November. The large hole and upended deck structure by her hangar appears to have been caused by a bomb. Note the anti-torpedo barrier off Jean Bart's port side and the 1500-tonne destroyer (Identification code T23) in the distance off her bow. Photographed by USS Chenango (ACV-28). Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
