  • The Foch was a French heavy cruiser of the Suffren class, that saw service in World War II. She was the first French warship named for the French Marshall Ferdinand Foch. In the early part of World War II, the Foch and her sister, Dupleix, formed Force M, based at Dakar. On 14 June 1940, the French 1st cruiser division with Algérie, Foch and escorting destroyers bombarded Vado near Genoa. She was scuttled on 27 November 1942 in the scuttling of the French fleet in Toulon, with open sea valves, plus charges to her main armament, to prevent her capture by the Germans, but was relatively undamaged and repair (possibly as an aircraft carrier) was contemplated by the Italians, who refloated her on 16 April 1943. However, she was instead towed to La Seyne where she was broken up during 1943-44.
