When Admiral Lacroix finally arrived, he ordered the ship evacuated; as the Germans were preparing to board, he told them that the cruiser was about to explode. She was blown up and burned for 20 days. </p><p>The Italians raised her in sections on 18 March 1943. The remains were bombed and sunk again on 7 March 1944, and were finally raised and broken up for scrap in 1949.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=French_cruiser_Alg%C3%A9rie&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Notes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>all ship statistical data from <i>French Cruisers 1922 - 1956</i> (Jordan & Moulin, Chapter 3, The Suffren Class, Design and Construction, Building Data and General Characteristics: Suffren and Colbert) unless otherwise noted</li> <li>French sources do not use shaft horsepower rating for the power output of their machinery.

Jane's did not do this nor has many of the English language sources. The reference <i>French Cruisers 1922 - 1056</i> shows the horse power values as only CV and gives the value for conversion to SHP used in many sources.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading
