Hello again! Probably the best cruisers ever actually built by the French: The La Galissonière-Class. ![[ img ]](http://imageshack.us/a/img15/3642/clmarseillaise1937.png) ![[ img ]](http://imageshack.us/a/img716/9912/cllagalissoniere1939.png) ![[ img ]](http://imageshack.us/a/img849/1545/clmontcalm1940.png) ![[ img ]](http://imageshack.us/a/img843/7151/cljeandevienne1942.png) More to come as soon as I find some better sources about the FNFL versions; I could not obtain any even vaguely accurate line-drawing or big-scale photograph with sufficient details of the 1943 and 1945 fit of these ships in all the www. If anybody has the sources I lack... ...pleeeease share! Greetings GD |

THAT. Is one sexy ship. Gotta love the absurdly large aircraft catapult on the aft turret. Wonderful renderation, Garlic. |

Excellent job, my friend! However was this class not called the Georges Leygues-class? That's atleast is the name ive found in most sources... As for the drawings, it suffices to say that they confirm very closely to the model of Jean de Vienne that I have, so, good to see them being done. |

Wonderful drawings. I'm sure this is going to be another cracking thread. I thought the Georges Leygues was the common class name too. |

Just how well did the catapult arrangement work? That's a lot of extra weight on the turret rollers, I wouldn't be surprised if it affected fire control, not to mention damage to the catapult and plane when the turret fired...
