Bougainville

Bougainville was one of a dozen Bougainville-class avisos built for the French Navy during the 1930s. The ship was designed to operate from French colonies in Asia and Africa and initially stationed in the Indian Ocean. Completed in 1933, the ship sided with Vichy France and was sunk by its sister Savorgnan de Brazza in November 1940 off Libreville in the Battle of Gabon.
