I like the idea of a second French BB line, there are certainly enough speculative designs and models out there. This is my personal proposal and not the fact that ships will ever appear in the game or my concept will be taken into attention! The battleships were designed for guns, caliber 380 mm as well as 406 mm guns. Initial studies by the design staff quickly demonstrated that a battery of 406 mm guns would be impossible if the other characteristics would be fulfilled within the allotted displacement.īattleship project, one of the variants of the battleship Gascogne-class, but significantly enlarged, as well as post-war auxiliary weapons, but the main armament is represented by an experimental 450-mm caliber gun developed in the interwar period. ![]() One of the first design battleship project, preceding the Richelieu-class battleships. ![]()
