Rouille (ship)

Rouille was a French cargo ship built in 1928. Details regarding its operational history are scarce, but records indicate it primarily served as a merchant vessel transporting goods between France and its colonies, particularly in North Africa and Southeast Asia. During World War II, the Rouille was seized by German forces after the Fall of France. It was subsequently utilized in service of the German war effort. Information on its eventual fate is inconsistent, with some sources suggesting it was sunk during the war, while others indicate it survived and was potentially returned to French ownership after the war's conclusion. Further research is required to definitively ascertain its complete history.
