| + | *Her damaged CG depicts a hole in her flag. This is a reference to a corresponding event during the Battle of Casablanca where a French 8-inch shell tore through her national ensign. The flag was purposefully larger in hopes that the French forces would not fire on the Americans. [https://i.imgur.com/ua62E00.jpg The original flag is currently on display in the museum ship.] |
