Service history
In 1966 and 1968, she was involved in two nuclear tests with "Force Alfa", and a third one in 1970 with the cruiser Шаблон:Ship, in the Pacific Ocean. In 1974, she achieved a long mission with the frigate Шаблон:Ship.
In the beginning of 1977, a few months before being decommissioned, she was used for the film "Le Crabe-Tambour" by Pierre Schoendoerffer. The ship was decommissioned 16 September 1977, its hull receiving No. Q580. It was then used as a target ship for testing an ARMAT anti-radar missile on 16 June 1982.
It was sunk on 30 May 1986 as a target during tests to test the Exocet MM40 missile.
