The remaining ships remained under the control of Vichy France. Four — "Élan", "Commandant Delage", "La Boudeuse" and "La Gracieuse" — were based in French Morocco. "Élan" was interned in Turkey from June 1941 until released in December 1944 to serve with the FNFL. The others were captured by the Allies after the invasion of North Africa in November 1942, and were turned over to the FNFL.
