Milan

The French destroyer Milan was one of six Aigle-class destroyer (contre-torpilleurs) built for the French Navy during the 1930s. Together with her sister ship Épervier, Milan was to be built at the Arsenal de Lorient, but that shipyard was overloaded with work and construction of the two ships had to be postponed. Completed in 1934, Milan participated in the Second World War and was wrecked in the Naval Battle of Casablanca in November 1942 during Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa.
