-'''Aigle''' was the lead ship of [[Aigle (Family)|her class]] of contre-torpilleurs, commissioned September 1932. During World War II, she played mostly an escort duty. With the beginning of hostilities against Italy, she participated in Operation Vado in June 1940, silencing the coast defence battery at Cape Vado and engaging other costal installations as well as Italian torpedo boats. After the signing of the Armistice at Compiègne and the surrender of France, she served in the Vichy Fleet, again, primarily in escort duty. She didn't see any combat until Case Anton, the German takeover of the Vichy France. In defiance of the German breach of the armistice, French sailors burned Aigle, along with numerous other vessels, during the scuttling of the French fleet at Toulon.

Being in her 1942 refit, she features a very good anti-air and anti-coastal armament, in particular a large amount of medium-range 37 mm, making her an excellent support for friendly vessels. Against larger threats, she boasts an excellent primary armament and a very good, long-range torpedoes. Her biggest issue is the lack of survivability, even if she has the largest crew compliment of her class. She also has the lowest speed in her class, but the difference isn't significant enough to affect combat performance.

 The torpedoes of the Aigle are rather slow compared to the ones the German or American ships can carry. In trade for the slow speed, they have an above-average travel distance of 9km with a decent amount of explosive filler of 308g of TNT, for inflicting great damage to enemy ships. Further, the Aigle is rather limited by only having 6 of those torpedoes, disallowing unthought use of the 1923DT torpedoes.
 The torpedo launchers of the Aigle are located at two positions, 3 in the centre and 3 in the back of the ship. This allows the ship to have good torpedo launch angles over the sides which allows the ship to launch torpedoes while retreating from a position or turning away from enemy fire.
