High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Attack on Mers-el-Kébir, part of Operation Catapult and also known as the Battle of Mers-el-Kébir, was an engagement off the coast of French Algeria on 3 July 1940. A British Royal Navy task force attacked and destroyed much of the French fleet, killing 1,297. France and Britain were not at war, but France had signed an armistice with Germany, and Britain did not want the French fleet to end up as a part of the German Navy, which it feared the German-French armistice would allow. Although the French Admiral Darlan had given Winston Churchill assurances that the fleet would not fall into German hands, the British acted upon the assumption that Darlan's promises were insufficient guarantees. The attack demonstrated to the world, and to the United States in particular, Britain's determination to continue the war with Germany.
