Cherbourg — France · Tier VIII · Cruiser

After signing the Washington Naval Treaty, France had the right to build new battleships despite the restrictions on ships of this type. The design of new ships began; they could be classified as battlecruisers or "large" cruisers in terms of their characteristics. In 1930, a project for a new ship was developed. It had a displacement of 23,333 tons, a speed of 30 knots, and was armed with eight 305 mm guns in two quadruple-gun turrets on the bow.
