French ship Jules Verne (A620)

The Jules Verne is a repair ship of the French navy, named in honour of science-fiction writer Jules Verne. Originally named Achéron and intended as an ammunition transport ship, she was converted to repair ship after her keel had been laid. The Jules Verne was long based in Djibouti (she was featured on the 10 000-Djiboutian francs banknote). In 1997, she was assigned to the Force d'Action Navale. In May 2016 Jules Verne arrived at Ghent, Belgium for recycling by Galloo Group.
