Background
About the ship
Cassard was a T-47-class destroyer in the first series of French destroyers built after the war. She was a further development of the Le Hardi class with larger dimensions and dual-purpose main armament. The primary function of the T-47-class ships was to escort aircraft carrier squadrons; as a result, they had moderate speed. As part of the French squadron, Cassard participated in resolving the Suez Crisis of 1956. Most of the ships in the series were decommissioned from the Navy in the 1980s.
