This black and white photograph from 1987 (identified on the back as G-26. 10. 2. 13 S/C INAL DE A. V. ND) depicts an exhibition displaying two images related to the French Navy during World War II. One image is an aerial view of the battleship *Strasbourg*, while the other shows uniformed sailors standing at attention near the ship's gun turrets. These exhibited images document the French Navy and the *Strasbourg*, a significant naval vessel involved in historical events such as the controversial attack on Mers-el-Kébir in 1940. The photographs serve as a visual record of ships and sailors involved in this event, contributing to the understanding of naval warfare during World War II.
