I made a small but VERY important revision to the Tourville (1939). Instead of disclosing what that revision is, I'll invite you to try to find it!

These are beautiful ships, and they have been beautifully illustrated. Well done! |

Finally was able to retrieve the one missing version of the Colbert, as of 1937. Since my interest for these ships only stretch till around 1942/43, I will not pursue the post war versions, unless I might find time to do an AU-version or personal design of either of the Duquesnes or the Suffren as, say a missile cruiser. |

and the "never-were" conversion of both DUQUESNE class CAs into light-carriers, considered toward late 1930s ? |

Ahhh...you know, Mike...I completely forgot about those! Yeah, unless GD (whose work really it is) won't do them, I might, sometime in the future give those a shot. (Though I haven't researched those variants very thoroughly...) But thanks for the reminder! |

A question for the designers...did these ships mount 75mm AA throughout? |

No, only the three first completed (Duquesne, Tourville and Suffren did so - hence why these three units formed the III Escadre Legere. The others (Colbert, Foch and Dupleix all had the new 90 mm mounting; Dupleix had four twin mountings, instead of the eight singles on the two previous vessels.) |

TYTY bezo! I gather the smaller AA in gunshields were 75mm...I am looking for AA that could be used in the 1920s for some small battleship designs I am doing. I wanted to use German equipment but the V-Treaty prohibits export of such. They would be designed by German and Austrian expats, and Skoda could supply main guns in one case. My nation's relations with the UK and Italy are bad, to put it mildly, so France could be a source. The French parts sheet is a big help. |
