The Vichy French, the French stooges for the Nazis, used the French navy to attack U.S. forces landing in North Africa in WW2. They didn't just surrender either, as is their custom. They destroyed their own remaining ships when it was clear the U.S. Navy would defeat them.

I, for one, remember very clearly that toward the end of WWII downed american fliers had to be rescued by the Germans from getting beaten to death by the French in occupied France. Yes, in the Paris metropolitan area, too.
