Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I muri i te whakaekenga a te Rōpū Whakakotahitanga ki Awherika ki te Raki
I te marama o Whiringa-a-rangi 1942 i hua ai te wehenga o nga waahanga nui o te emepaea o tawahi o Parani, i tukuna a "Richelieu" ki te mana o te French Free. I tukuna ia ki te United States mo te hanga tonu me te whakahoutanga ki te kawe i te kaipuke ki nga paerewa hou o Amerika me Ingarangi, tae atu ki te paparanga anti-aircraft kaha o te rima tekau ma ono Bofors pupuhi me te wha tekau ma waru Oerlikon autocannon, ahakoa i kore te US Navy i tohatoha i ona radar tino matatau ki nga French. Whai muri i te whakaotinga me te whakahoutanga, i mahi te kaipuke ki te British Home Fleet i te timatanga o te tau 1944; i reira, i mahi ia hei waahanga o te kaha ki te tiaki i te kaipuke pakanga a Tiamana e whakawehi ana i nga rori rori ki te Soviet Union. Kaore ia i kite i tetahi mahi i tenei wa, i te mea i noho tonu te kaipuke Tiamana ki te tauranga, ko te hua o te koretake o te wahie.
