Summary
| Description | The French destroyer Albatros beached off Casablanca, Morocco on 4 December 1942. Beyond her stern is the French light cruiser Primauguet. Both ships were badly damaged during the Battle of Casablanca, 8 November 1942. Albatros' third smokestack has been destroyed and Primaguet is largely burned out forward. Note the railroad line and signal in the foreground and shipping in the right distance, including at least two French commercial freighters and, partially visible at far right, what appears to be the U.S. Navy cargo ship USS Electra (AK-21) lying very low in the water. She had been torpedoed by the German submarine U-173 on 15 November. |
