French Navy?[edit]

Looking for references to confirm service in the French Navy in vain. She seems absent from all the standard works that can access online as well as Roche "Dictionnaire des Bâtiments de la Flotte de Guerre Française dwe Colbert à Nos Jours" (2013). Suspect allocated to France but never taken over by the Navy, so "French Government" would be more appropriate and without mention of "service". Any sources out there?

[later] I very much doubt that she ever had "petrol" (=gasoline) engines. She started with twin triple expansion steam engines - but likely that the boilers were converted from coal-burning to oil-burning under the Romanians, perhaps in the 1937-39 refit.

And, in the absence of any French references it is probably a stretch to state that her name comes from Aurora Borealis, rather than just Aurore (=dawn, or the Goddess of dawn, or soething else). And the decision by Romania to just modify the name to Aurora may be something different - there are, at least now, two places in Romania with that name, for example.
