Albatros was busy escorting convoys in the Atlantic and Mediterranean early in the war. After the armistice, she was transferred to Morocco and joined the 2nd Light Squadron with the cruiser Primauguet. The squadron sailed out of Casablanca harbor on the morning of 8 November 1942 to intercept the American transports anchored off Fedala for the invasion of North Africa. Albatros was forced to moor off the coast after being hit by two bombs dropped by SBD Dauntless dive bombers. She was then struck by two 8-inch shells from USS Augusta and finally had to beach after losing 14 men.

Card is ready for review.

Please keep several things in mind:

1. This step is for finding typos, errors in transcription, layout issues, spelling, etc.
2. The front of the card is what matters! Only the front of the card is applicable to the actual game. We especially need to make sure everything is correct on the front.
3. The back of the card is for fun. We still want it to be correct, but it is not critical to the game.
4. This is not a process for changing the card unless you find a terrible game related problem. At this point the card should be playtested, voted on, approved, and locked.

All of that said, please review the card carefully and post any problems or errors you see. I definitely want to get it right. I look at the card so much while laying it out that I get "blinded" to the content at times.

Very interesting question! I just looked them up in the book French Destroyers by Jordan and Moulin, and it turns out Milan and Epervier were ordered with the Aigle class, but were postponed and became "demonstrators" for superheated steam technology. Those two also ended up with the modified hull-form and other characteristics of the following Vauquelin class. So even though Milan and Epervier were part of the original contract for Aigle class destroyers, they ended up more like the following Vauquelin class. But the book still groups those two ships with the Aigle class as do most sources.

The three DD classes from the Guepard to the Vauquelin were just incremental updates of the same design. Looking at the specifications, it appears to me that the basic stats on our card are still correct.
