The ship was assigned to the Vichy French High Sea Forces () when it was formed after the French surrender in June. "L'Indomptable" was scuttled in Toulon when the Germans occupied Vichy France in November 1942. Heavily damaged during Allied air raids, the ship was not salvaged during the war; her bow was raised in mid-1945 and used to replace the bow of one of her sister ships. Her wreck was broken up in 1950.
