After the fall of France, the Germans captured the incomplete yet undamaged hulls of the two Le-Hardi-class destroyers L'Opiniâtre and L'Aventurier in Bordeaux.

It was planned to complete them with German weapons and the hulls were renamed to ZF 6 and ZF 7 respectively.
Mainly due to sabotage, material and labour shortages, work on the two destroyers commenced very slowly. By June 1941, the construction of ZF 7 was halted in favour of ZF 6, which was renamed to ZF 2 two months later.

Work on ZF 2 was finally halted in July 1943. The incomplete ship was demolished by German troops when abandoning Bordeaux in August 1944 and its wreck was scrapped after the end of the war.

A very nice drawing, well detailed and an interest never-were addition.

Very nice and detailed drawing! Is the first time that I see anything different to a written description of the captured hulls. and I am surprised by the very "germanesque" (surprised... but completely logical) superstructures: once again, the Bucket as an educational tool!
