The Suffren class was a class of four heavy cruisers built for the French Navy in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The four ships of the class were: * Colbert, scuttled at Toulon during the scuttling of 27 November 1942. * Dupleix, scuttled at Toulon on 27 November 1942 to prevent her capture by the Germans and raised by the Italians on 3 July 1943. Sunk again during an Allied air raid in 1944. * Foch, scuttled at Toulon on 27 November 1942 * Suffren, disarmed and interned in Egypt by the British on 22 June 1940. Rejoined the Allies and rearmed on 30 May 1943. Decommissioned on 1 October 1947. Scrapped in 1974.
