Should look empty, why you would stay with 12' guns (305mm even if you have 12 of them) when you are a 1927+ ship with 35,000t is beyond me ? would 3 triples with 14' not be better ? (or even twins for 6x16'). Anyway love your drawing could you add any text about what study/etc ? really helps when most people (myself inc) have never heard about the specific ship design much. JSB
I'm not sure you fully understood
This is not a game, this is not an imaginary design, this is not a AU design...
This is real-life, this is a design that has been really studied
You make an incredible error analysis
You thought Americans (triple 14" & large firepower), when this design is...French
a design-option with twin 16" exist, it will be the next
I fully accept this is a real plan by the French (and that its a nice drawing by David Latuch with I'm sure your excellent references),
but why does that stop us asking why the French thought 12x12' was a good idea ? (or even if it was a good idea ?)(cost maybe, already built/developed the guns ?)
You make an incredible error analysis
well go on explain why I would like to learn more ?
