It should be noticed one thing that David rather inexplicably doesn't mention: the double-storied bridge complex denoted Strasbourg as fitted out as a fleet flagship; i.e. the flagship of the Flotte de la Haute Mers, or French "High Seas Fleet". Compare with Dunkerque for the diffrent, and also compare with the CA Algerie, which was similarly outfitted.

- And what can I say about the drawing? Superb beyond description!

Thanks Bezo.

Dunkerque was the flagship of the Force de Raid of 1ère Division de Ligne. Strasbourg I believe merely had a different conning tower layout spread over two decks. I also thought it was a flagbridge, but read otherwise. I could be wrong however.

Wonderful drawing David!

Does the starboard aft ladder not match up with the plan view or is it me?

Excellent job, David! I hope you have not forgotten the fact that I finish Strasbourg 1942. The fact that I do slowly there are reasons, but it should not neglect my work. And it is normal that there will be differences.

It matches up. What you missed, I believe, is that there are two landings one on the poop/quarter deck and the other on the main deck.
