The last proposal was a ship that was armed with sixteen 305 mm (12 in) guns in four quadruple turrets and a speed of 20 knots. The second was for a ship with a dozen 340 mm guns arranged in two quadruple-gun turrets fore and aft of the superstructure with superfiring twin-gun turrets and a speed of 20 knots. The first was a design with the same ten 340 mm guns as the Bretagnes, but with a top speed greater than 21 knots.

The design staff presented three alternatives, all armed with a secondary armament of twenty 138.6 mm (5.5 in) guns in a new twin-gun casemate mounting. Where they planned to build her with no midship turret, while keeping the 12 guns requirement intact. Languedoc is a Normandie class preliminary design. Slightly better than T5 Bretagne.Ĭoncealment is 15.3 km base. Hull B (1944) will have DFAA consumable (spotter or fighter consumable will not be available). Hull A (1939) will have spotter or fighter consumable (DFAA consumable will not be available) Midship turret is removed in favor of a float plane in 1939 and removed the float plane better AA in 1944.īest solution to implement both versions is to let her have two hulls.

Both only have 8 - 340 mm guns instead of the usual 10 - 340 mm guns that her sisters enjoy.
