Wartime history

Capture and fate

Six incomplete ships of the 1010t-class, the Le Fier, L'Agile, L'Alsacien, L'Entreprenant, Le Farouche and Le Corse were captured by the German Army in June 1940. Renamed to TA1 - TA6 ("Torpedoboot Ausland"), it was planned to complete all six ships, but material shortages and sabotage by French workers made this impossible. In April 1943, the focus was changed to continue only two ships, TA1 and TA4 but even they were not completed. TA4 was captured in June 1940. The ship was transferred to Nants to be completed, but was destroyed by an air attack on 14.09.1943 shortly before it was to be comissioned. The wreck was scrapped in 1946.
