The first three ships to be commissioned, "Tigre", "Chacal", and "Panthère", were assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron at Toulon, and the last three were assigned to the Second Squadron ("2ème Escadre") at Brest. The ships made many port visits and participated in several naval reviews during the 1920s and early 1930s. Several even made visits to French West Africa and the French West Indies in the early 1930s. "Jaguar" served as the flagship of several different destroyer ("torpilleur d'escadre") flotillas from 1928 to 1937. The "Chacal"-class ships started to become dedicated training ships beginning in 1932 and continued to do so until the beginning of World War II.
