FRENCH WARSHIPS CHANGE OF NAME TO Q NUMBERS
« on: January 19, 2018, 04:38:55 PM »
I have noticed that when French warships decommission they are renamed with a Q Number, for example TOURVILLE D610 Renamed Q-872, DUGUAY-TROUIN D611 Renamed Q-813 and DE GRASSE D612 Renamed Q-736.

Is there a reason why this is done and is there a website or somewhere to find information of all French warships that have been redesignated as such.
