But John Jordan did write an article on the French 37000tonnes battlecruiser designs in Warship 2011...but Warship 2011 has got a bit pricey even secondhand
I was not aware of this but WARSHIP has gotten too expensive for me to keep up with it anymore, I haven't bought a copy in a number of years. Too bad too, it's an excellent reference...

Nice looking ship...some notifications from me! 1st: the Secondary Battery of 130mm are DP guns? ... if yes then you will face a major problem when the main battery rotate, the secondary 130 could not adjust the guns for A/A shots! 2nd: The forecastle boats at the davits will face plenty damages during rough weather ...u have plenty space at midships to place them 3rd: The boats at midships are blocked by the gungway ladder...you cannot lower them... |

Nice looking ship...some notifications from me! Does not make the mistake of "confusing"1st: the Secondary Battery of 130mm are DP guns? ... if yes then you will face a major problem when the main battery rotate, the secondary 130 could not adjust the guns for A/A shots! These quadruples 130mm turrets are the ancestors of the quads 130mm DP turrets carried onboard the Dunkerque class. On these 1926-1928 studies, these quadruples 130mm turret are only SP (Single Purpose), very usefull again....italian torpedo-boats, destroyers & cruisers... On these studies, only the single 90mm (& the 37mm) are fully AA/DP
2nd: The forecastle boats at the davits will face plenty damages during rough weather ...u have plenty space at midships to place them Here, you have reasonsbut this (strange and vulnerable) boats-installation was considered only during studies. It is extremely likely that if these ships were built, these light installations have been moved toward amidship or aft...
3rd: The boats at midships are blocked by the gungway ladder...you cannot lower them... I am not sure
