formed the navy’s '1st Division of the Line' and at the beginning of the war, both
ships led the search for German commerce raiders.

Sailed on her first major cruise and
visited the ports of Fort-de-France,
in the Antilles and Dakar, Senegal
before being assigned to the Atlantic
Squadron.
Joined
Strasbourg
and visited a
number of British ports which included,
Liverpool, Oban, Lock Ewe, Scapa Flow
and Rosyth. As war broke out
Dunkerque
joined HMS
Hood
in an unsuccessful
attempt to track down the German
battleships
Scharnhorst
and
Gneisenau
after they sank the British armed
merchant cruiser HMS
Rawalpindi.
Dunkerque
was very badly damaged
during the attack on Mers-el-Kébir and
was beached to avoid her being sunk.
She returned to France for permanent
repairs and was later scuttled to prevent
her from getting in to the hands of the
Germans. Italy took control of the ship
and started to dismantle her.
