The three Duguay-Trouin class light cruisers were built for France in the early 1920s. The Duguay-Trouin was the lead ship of this class of French light cruisers.

In 1931, Duguay-Trouin undertook an extended cruise to Indo-China, then a French colony. During World War II, she was transferred to the eastern Mediterranean, based at Beirut, for operations in the Adriatic and Dodecanese. After the French surrender, she was disarmed by agreement and interned by the British from 22 June 1940. The Duguay-Trouin rejoined the Allies on 30 May 1943 and was re-armed in July. Her first Allied employment was as a troop transport in early 1944. She supported the landings in southern France in July 1944 and subsequently undertook bombardments along the Italian coast until April. After the war, Duguay-Trouin was sent to Indo-China and supported army operations against the Viet Minh. She was decommissioned 19 March 1952.
