It's a travesty she was never built...I think she would rival Italy's Littorio-class in terms of beauty!

Looking very good.

The only criticism I have, and its a minor one, is a shading rule violation. The main deck area under the forecastle/ upper deck area where the torpedoes are etc. should have shading underneath the overhanging structure. All enclosed or semi-enclosed areas should have shading to indicate the overhang, as well as platforms etc. Since you've been consistent elsewhere across the upperworks with platforms etc. I'm sure its only an oversight. It's only a minor point and otherwise is an impressive peice of work.

Hello

More shading as requested. Of course it was an oversight. What else?

Greetings

Seconded, a really nice drawing of a very pretty ship.

What is the aft crane for, btw?

probably something like an Aircraft recovery place. Or as a crane where they can plane an extra aircraft on deck for storing....

Hello again

As with the Saint-Louis-Class, I tried to imagine how a modernized version of the de Grasse without torpedoes, aviation facilities and three of her four cranes, but with two additional 100mm turrets, an all-new light flak array of 12 Mle.35 37mm and 24 Mle.38 25mm including directors and a full radar suite would look. And I think the refit definitly improved her lines...
