Georges Leygues belonged to the La Galissonnière-class of cruisers, which, thanks to their solid construction and modern solutions, were considered among the best escort ships of the French Navy. The ship saw action both in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean – including providing artillery support during the Allied landings in Normandy (Operation Overlord) and southern France (Operation Dragoon). Interestingly, the vessel was modernized by the Americans in 1943, which improved its anti-aircraft protection.
