The La Galissonnier-class light cruiser was the French Navy's largest World War II cruiser built based on the "Emile Bertin" and combined with the protective design of the heavy cruiser "Algeria" to strengthen its defense capabilities at the expense of speed. Strong light cruiser. The excellent hull line shape of La Galissonnier allowed its actual speed to exceed the original design speed of 31 knots and reach 32 knots. The Marseillaise once reached a test speed of 35 knots. After the outbreak of World War II, this class was assigned to join the Third Cruiser Fleet and the Fourth Cruiser Fleet respectively, which also laid the foundation for the different fate of this class of ships in the future. The Marseillaise in the Third Cruiser Fleet sank in the port of Toulon, France on November 27, 1942 to prevent enemy plunder. It was not salvaged until the war and was salvaged and dismantled.
