In 1957, it was proposed to refit Jean Bart’s anti-aircraft and radar suites. The dual 100mm guns were to be replaced with the newer 1953, single barrel mounts with an upgrade in GFCDs. The 125mm would utilize the DRBC-31B, the 100mms the DRBC-32A and the 57mms would be directed by the DRBC-31A. The tubular masts were also to be converted into tripods to support the heavier DRBV-20C, DRBV-23C, DRBV-31 and DFBI-10B, radar antennae.
