Commander Bio:
Philippe Auboyneau (1899-1961) was an Admiral of the French Navy (1960).He earned his first officer's rank during the years of World War I, having taken part in operations in its closing stages. Later on, Auboyneau served in the Far East and spent some as an instructor for future officers. After completion of his studies in Naval War College, he took a position in the Naval Ministry and then served in the staff of the destroyer's flotilla. Talent, vast knowledge and commitment to seamanship made Auboyneau a representative of the French Navy in the Royal Navy at the beginning of World War II. Thanks to that, after France's surrender, he managed to rescue the French squadron in Alexandria, Led by the desire to keep fighting against the Germans, Auboyneau joined General de Gaulle. After he took command of the Le Fantasque-class destroyer, he took part in actions In the Atlantic and in the Pacific. In 1942 and 1943, the admiral commanded the Free France's naval forces and played a huge role in bringing the remaining parts of the French Navy together. In 1944, having raised his flag on Émile Bertin as a commander of the cruiser division, admiral Auboyneau took part in the the landing of Provence. When the war was over, he still played one of the key roles in the Navy: he commanded France's naval forces in the Far East and was a member of the Superior counsel for National defense.
