Started by MitcheLL300, and since I was doing the French carrier Bearn, he kindly agreed that I woul complete this vessel.
A 1913 design for a battleship with four quad turrets with the then standard French big-gun 13.4"/45 Model 1912.


Still to be completed, this is a "progress report".
BTW this class is not the Normandie class, but a further development of the class.

Embarked on: HNLMS Karel Doorman A833
To do list:
-Zeven Provincien class cruiser
-Joint support ship all sides
-F124 Sachsen class frigate
-F125 Baden-Württemberg class frigate
-Clemencau class aircraft carrier
-Zeven provincien class frigate
-Poolster class AOR
-Amsterdam class AOR
-Minas Gerais aircraft carrier

I think it is finished now.
MitcheLL300 is the true artist here, but all faults are mine, as I took up on his work.



Do tell what you think.
Normandie is next BTW

Edit: Have made some modifications, not least was the underwater torpedo-tubes.

I missed this one

Great stuff shipmate; we are deplorably deficient in French warships

Few comments :
- Any torpedoes-nets expected ?
- Any few light AA-guns expected ? (the 1st on a major french ship ?). The "Lyon's" is designed by late 1913/1914.
- Any "saluting-gun" expected ?

But great work

For torpedo-nets I couldn't find any mention of them, in any of the drawings I have.
As for light AA-guns I still have to find where they were designed to be along with the saluting guns
