Lion

Lion was one of six Guépard-class destroyers built for the French Navy during the 1920s. Completed in 1931, the ship participated in the Second World War. After France surrendered to Germany in June 1940, Lion served with the navy of Vichy France. Her crew attempted to scuttle the ship, but failed when the German attempted to seize the French fleet in Toulon, France, on 27 November 1942. She later was repaired by the Regia Marina, but was scuttled to prevent her capture by the Germans when Italy surrendered in September 1943. The German salvaged the ship the following year, but it was sunk by Allied bombers later that year.
