OMG, I keep forgetting that I have to spell out every tiny thing around here... Notice, it says "shipS"... Mutsu is obviously only one ship, but part of a class of two, that class was first with 16in...

I don't sit with a book in front of me looking up dates of launch and completion...

I do this stuff mostly, 90% from memory... And I do pretty good too!!!

So Ooh, ya got me!!! LOL!!!

LOL!!!

I have alot of fun in life, because I'm not so anally retentive about things that are completely inconsequential...

Have a nice day

The Nagato class BBs have always been among the most interesting looking and attractive battleships in my opinion.

White turrets and French flag. Probably Lorraine, Bretagne class anyway.

Ed. Lorraine due not having the center turret but aircraft catapult instead.

I was originally gonna say Provence of the Bretagne class, but the more I study the picture the more I thought it was Bretagne herself..

These ships are so much alike, and all refitted over the years.
But Charge have the correct answer I think, its got to be Lorraine after the removed midships turret and mounted aircraft catapult..

for some reason, the last ) is getting dropped from the link. Just add it manually.

And this is the picture:

This looks like the Sevastopol

Ok, time for a hint: Was struck by a British Swordfish's torpedo, visited New York couple years later.

Correct.

I was rather surprised to learn that France had such impressive battleships during WW2.

Is "class" close enough? <G>

Caio Duilio

Italy had some nice looking ships.

You are correct as to the class. It's specifically the Caio Duilio, massively rebuilt in the early 1930s, and as a result were very similar to the Conti di Cavour class.
