 Her name was reused for the new battleship , so the old cruiser was renamed "Strassbourg II" on early 1934 and in November she was transferred to Landévennec.On 15 January 1936, she was moved to Lorient and used as a depot ship for the 6th Destroyer Division, thereafter being stricken from the naval register in June.After the Germans invaded France in 1940, they seized the ship and briefly considered restoring her to active service.
