As you probably know, the Amiral Charner was one of the French naval vessels involved in the taking of possession of Castellorizo on 28 December 1915. However, on 8 February 1916 she was sunk by a German submarine east of Castellorizo with the loss of 500 lives. The only survivor was to achieve almost celebrity-like status in France.
The sinking sent shockwaves throughout the French navy. On Castellorizo, the new hospital built by the French was named after the doomed ship.
Let me know if you need more details. A convenient summary of the ship's role in the occupation of Castellorizo is contained in Near Eastern Dreams (Halstead Press, 2005) which is available through the Literature page of this site.
