Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei:
Ko te whakaekenga a Allied o Awherika ki te Raki i te marama o Noema o te tau 1942 i hua ai te wehenga o nga waahanga nui o te Emepaea o te Moana-a-Kiwa o Parani, "Richelieu" i tukuna 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.
