Nice drawing Psilander. It's a really cool feature with the all-forward main artillery.

Yes, I wanted something better than the Panzerschiffes which are why to thin armoured. This ship must be able to fight a panzerschiff or even Dunquerk and be able to contiune her patrol. Therefor the all forwarad arnament and "all or nothing armou" and a good top speed.

She could probably take on a Deutschland with confidence, Dunkerque well they are harder to kill. Even handicapped by beeing french,,,But what are the chance that they ever would be on opposite sides of a war?

The bridgestructure is somewhat odd. Like some young designers given a blanc sheet to do what they like. There´s also a purple line between the funnels. The drawing is superb, but she´s not the most godlooking ship of Emperor´s navy

I had some problems with the bridge - When I started I looked a lot at the Nelsons box bridge... But it didnät work out and Strassbourg was to odd for my taste so I got some german inspiration by looking at the Scharnhorst bridge struckture.

This is the colonial tender "HSwMS Älvsnabben". Mainly a seaplane tender for colonial policing but she can replace her seaplanes with MTBs/ MGBs.

Wow... she sure looks different than her earlier incarnations... I think she looks a bit like a very remade Fylgia in some strange way. A very interesting ship, I'd say.
