History

World War II

The ship was originally built as USS Crosley (DE-108), an American named for Rear Admiral Walter Selywn Crosley. Crosley was transferred to the Free French Naval Forces under lend lease on 12 February 1944, and renamed Tunisien (T23).

Tunisien participated in Operation Anvil-Dragoon on 15 August 1944.[2]

Ownership of the vessel was transferred to France on 21 April 1952 under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program.

Algerian War

Tunisien participated in the Algerian War in 1956.[3] She was decommissioned and returned to the U.S. Navy in 1964 and scrapped.
