Landing at Rayak

French "Fantasque" Class heavy destroyer, "L'Indomptable".  Commissioned in 1935, L'Indomptable served against the Germans in the Norwegian campaign.  Following the accession of the Vichy regime in France, she entered Vichy service and campaigned against the Allies in the Atlantic (against the Murmansk convoys), and as an escort to Axis convoys in the Mediterranean.  Following a boiler accident, she was returned to Toulon for repairs.  She was still at Toulon when the Germans invaded Vichy France, leading to her scuttling to prevent capture (by whom is not exactly clear, at least to me), November 1942.  Best regards, JR.
