Descriptionof Les Avisos Dragueurs de 630 TW du Type Elan. Band 1
Manufacturer

The series of "Aviso" trawlers had the misfortune of being developed too late for the start of World War 2, so that some of them were sent into the fire with virtually no armament suitable for combat. Nevertheless, they served, if not as trawlers (very few), then as escort vessels, a type of ship sorely lacking in the French Navy. Some of these ships were also used in theatres of war such as Dunkirk, Dakar (on both sides, FNFL and Vichy), the Provence landings, Indochina and even Algeria. Each of the ships had an exciting and little-known operational history.

Volume 1 covers the first six models of this class of boat: the "Élan", "Commandant Bory", "Commandant Delage", "Commandant Rivière", "Commandant Duboc" and "Commandant Domine".
