Hello again :-D
I found a drawing of the Ardent class, of which the Dédaigneuse was a member.

She served on the 6. Sicherungsflottille as Minensuchboote M 6020.
Can anyone tell me her armament in German Service?

FR 56 is the Italian number, but I think the boat did not have a Kriegsmarine SG number (Schnelles Geleitboot) like several other FR sloops. http://www.wlb-stuttgart.de/seekrieg/schiffe/pn-ef.htm The M 6020 makes no sense to me. Although there is some discrepancy in name/FR number see http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/captured/escorts/sg17/index.html for probable armament.
FR 56 ist die italienische Nummer, aber ich glaube das Boot hatte keine SG (Schnelles Geleitboot) Kriegsmarine-Nummer, die einige anderen FR Schlupen hatten. M 6020 ist begreife ich nicht. Obwohl da einige Abweichungen sind -Name und FR Nummer - siehe .......fuer die wahrscheinliche Bewaffnung.
The link on my post shows her going from the Italian Navy to the German Navy as an auxillary Minesweeper.
Groener V. 8 ( Just arrived today :O/Y) says she had 8 2cm guns and a single 10cm. I am wondering if the 10cm was mounted foreward or aft and what configuration and location the 2cm guns were (vierling, twin, single, etc.).
