- Source: French destroyer Valmy
Valmy was one of six Guépard-class destroyers (contre-torpilleurs) built for the French Navy during the 1920s.
After France signed an armistice with Germany in June 1940 during World War II, Valmy served with the navy of Vichy France. She was among the ships of the French fleet scuttled at Toulon, France, on 27 November 1942.
