Background

About the ship

Against the backdrop of large-scale constructions of new battleships by all naval powers in the late 1930s, France began working on the project for a new battleship. After Dunkerque was tested, the concept of battleships with artillery placed on the bow was questioned. The plan was to build two new battleships that would match the speed and armor of the Richelieu class. Battleship Gascogne was supposed to be constructed according to a design that positioned the main artillery at the aft and forward ends of the ship; however, the ship was not laid down due to the capitulation of France.
