COMMENT THIS PHOTO(3)
The ship towed by ALCYON had on the hull : A 773, so must be VIGILANTE.
Please see a pic taken early : http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2590437#
On the picture on graveyard ships, the hull number is A 772, so must be ENGAGEANTE.
I noted that the vessel identifications give ENGAGEANTE ex ISERAN, and VIGILANTE ex CAYOLLE, but the Dictionary of French War ships (JM Roche) says the opposite.
I don't known who is right. I sent a mail to some French Navy specialists and hope to have some explanations.
Regards,
Yvon
