наша версия (про танкер и Сюркуф) Не такая романтичная как у франков

>On 6 June 1971, before sunrise, in the Mediterranean Sea 60 nautical miles (110 km) southeast of Cartagena, Spain, as she sailed with the tactical group of the aircraft carrier Arromanches, Surcouf was again in a collision when she cut across the bow of the Soviet tanker General Busharov. The tanker, six times heavier than the destroyer, could not avoid the collision and rammed Surcouf at 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph). Nine men from Surcouf were lost at sea and one was severely burned (he later died of his wounds). When the French destroyer Tartu (which belonged to the same tactical group) attempted to tow the badly damaged ship, Surcouf snapped in two, the bow sinking quickly. The aft part was taken in tow to Toulon via Cartagena. Surcouf was eventually sunk as a target by an Exocet anti-ship missile after being decommissioned on 5 May 1972.[1]
