The handsomest of the French WWII-era warships by far, IMHO. |

Great start there Karle94. The best of all French heavy cruisers, and it is just unfortunate that she could nod realize her full potential during the war. |

Karle, be aware that you put a USN personnel boat behind the stack! Please take the time to check the correct appearance of the ships' boats. Combrig has released a very smart 1/700 resin model of the Algerie, and I know there are pictures of both the kit and the completed model on the Net. I have the model myself, but alas, it is, with so many other stuff packed away... |

I know that it is a USN boat. The boat shown on the sources I have used look very much the same, so I just out that one there for that reason. |

Well, Sir, it's your drawing, so be it as it is. I, however, would not take such a shortcut. Of course you can use that particular boat as a template and modify it so it will agree with historical acribi, that's one way of cutting a corner... |

Have to agree with Bezo, the USN boat looks out of place. If it was a placeholder, then no foul, but really should be updated before finalization. |
