Duquesne - class cruiser The Duquesne Class were the first class of post Washington Treaty heavy cruisers built for the French Navy . They have been criticised by naval architects for having very little armour and being lightly built .

Both ships survived World War II having seen little combat since they were part of the French squadron " demilitarized " in Alexandria harbor from 1940 through mid - 1943 . After rejoining the Allies , both were refitted in the U .
