Four Drh LC/34 turrets, three of which were originally intended to re-arm the Gneisenau and one completed to the Soviet order, modified for land service, were planned to be emplaced at Paimpol, Brittany and on the Cap de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula, but construction never actually began.
The last of the series were allocated to the St-Brieux depot and rented to the Société générale de chemins de fer et de transport automobile (CFTA) after Réseau Breton lines between Carhaix and Paimpol had been re-gauged from metre gauge to standard gauge.
Consequently, a Paimpolaisean schooner named the Surprise, struck herself onto the rocks near the town Plogoff.
Spring: The Icelandic shore: Tual dreams of Paimpol, his home in Brittany, while making a small fishing boat.
The attractions of the town are also a major theme of Guy Ropartz's opera Le Pays and Théodore Botrel's song La Paimpolaise.
Three units, numbered X 97151-153 were built to work the Guingamp to Carhaix and Paimpol lines in Brittany.
