Background
About the ship
After the approval of the Bretagne-class battleship project, research to further improve future ships continued. The designers took the extensive route by assembling 340 mm guns in three quadruple-gun turrets. The armor layout was slightly changed, too. However, the construction of ships was suspended at the height of World War I, and after the end of the war, the project was completely abandoned.
