History edit

On 2 March 1962, Maillé-Brézé, along with another four destroyers, landed fresh troops at Algiers to fight the OAS upsurge.[2] Assisted by her sister ship Surcouf, she was about to shell the OAS-held quarter of Bab-el-Oued when a counter-order called the operation off. The destroyers instead took battle stations close to the shore as a deterrent.[3]

In 1988, she was decommissioned and became a museum ship in Nantes. She has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since October 1991.[4]

On 21 February 2016, director Christopher Nolan announced plans to feature the ship in his then upcoming World War II film Dunkirk.[5] In the film, she portrayed two British destroyers – sister ships HMS Vivacious and HMS Vanquisher – by simultaneously carrying the D36 pennant number of Vivacious on her port side and Vanquisher's pennant D54 on her starboard side.[6]
