Richelieu — France · Tier VIII · Battleship

The Richelieu class was the French response to the Italian Littorio class. The final project was essentially an enlarged variant of Dunkerque with improved AA defenses. While still under construction, Richelieu was evacuated to Africa, but the ship served in World War II at a later stage.
