Indeed, in the absence of new battleships in the naval programme, the seven 10,000-tonne cruisers, compliant with the standards imposed by the Washington Treaty of 6 February 1922, would embody modernity in the line of battle, at least through the 1930s. Within our squadrons, they showed the flag in the Atlantic as well as in the Mediterranean or the Indian Ocean for some, but with the exception of three of them, their careers would end with the pitiful scuttling at Toulon, without any real test of combat. Of these seven vessels — Duquesne, Tourville, Suffren, Colbert, Foch, Dupleix and Algérie — close in their general characteristics but distinct in their secondary armament and above all in their protection, we have already written about the first two. It remained, therefore, for readers curious about history as well as naval technology, to address the central core formed by the cruisers Suffren, Colbert, Foch and Dupleix. We now propose to do so, with this Volume I covering the first two: Suffren and Colbert.
