Can't wait to see the next chapter...have a feeling it'll be just as good (if not better) than this one!
Thanks for the vote of confidence
So far, it bears a lot of promise. The 1940 was rather easy since Richelieu and Jean Bart were sister ships. The original design is rather difficult given the quality of the reference drawings. But the original design clearly shows all of the elements that emerge in the rest of the class--except Gascoigne’s double-ended main battery. It’s too bad that Richelieu was never completed as designed. The subsequent New York refit would have been interesting.
You'll see when I open the thread in a few days.
