[Platforms] France Le Colbert

[Donald Collins]

All,
NODC concurs that this vessel is different than French vessel 'COLBERT', 
NODC code 352J: GTSPP identifies 352J as having a callsign of FAUC, 
which links it to the French naval vessel FNS COLBERT (C611), launched 
24 March 1956 (Jane's Fighting Ships 1985-86), decommissioned 1991, 
converted to museum ship at Bordeaux in 1993, awaiting scrapping since 
2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_cruiser_Colbert_(1956)).

This platform request (Le Colbert, 352I) was confirmed by NOAA on 3 Mar 
2009.

Cheers,
Don
