Background
About the ship
The Bougainville sloops in the French Navy were classified as "colonial aviso" and were intended to serve in the overseas territories of the Republic. The ships were equipped for service in the tropics and had rooms for a task force staff and its commander. Their long range was provided by a reliable and economical diesel power plant. During World War II, most of the Bougainville aviso served in the Atlantic, off the coast of Africa, and in the Pacific Ocean.
