French cruiser Bruix

Bruix was an armoured cruiser of the French Navy, named in honour of Étienne Eustache Bruix. After her trials in 1895, she served in the Caribbean and in the Far East. After the outbreak of the First World War, along with Surprise, she was sent off Africa to invade Cameroon, putting an end to the German colony of Kamerun. In 1916, she took part in operations in the Mediterranean and notably in the blockade of Greece in the Noemvriana.
