Most of the light cruisers were salvaged by the Italians, either to restore them as fighting ships or for scrap. The cruisers "Jean de Vienne" and "La Galissonnière" were renamed "FR11" and "FR12", respectively, but their repair was prevented by Allied bombing and their use would have been unlikely, given the Italians' chronic shortage of fuel. Even the light destroyer (renamed "FR37") and another four of the same class as "Le Hardi" were salvaged: "FR32" (ex-"Corsaire"), "FR33" (ex-"Epée"), "FR34" (ex-"Lansquenet"), "FR35" (ex-"Fleuret").
