Background

About the ship

As one of six light cruisers of the La Galissonnière class, Montcalm stood as the most modern example of her ship type in the French Navy at the onset of World War II. In the initial months of the war, she operated in the North Atlantic and took part in the Norwegian campaign. In 1943, the ship underwent modernization in the U.S. that enhanced her air defenses and radio equipment. In June 1944, Montcalm covered the Allied landings in Normandy in the Omaha sector. Later in the war, the cruiser participated in the liberation of Southern France.
