The diminutive Bourrasque-Class (1900) is the most compromised of the Nouveau Siècle de la Marine designs, trading the originally designed 139mm guns for 120mm, and halving her torpedo armament due to the limited availability of dockyard which could construct 900+-tonne vessels.

The La Motte-Picquet class Protected Cruiser (1899) is somewhat unique in it's design. Her 'All-Little-Gun' design is coupled with an impressive battery of torpedoes, combining the protected and torpedo cruiser into one class. Her impressive 7-gun broadside outmasses most contemporaries with 6" guns

The Armoured Cruiser Dupleix (1894) was the first of the Marine Nationale's warships built as part of the Nouveau Siècle de la Marine. Her main armament was revised down from 240mm to 194mm to trim the design, introducing a third turret to compensate, resulting in the first true superfiring guns.

The Danton Class (1900) was a French Semi-Dreadnought from the Nouveau Siècle de la Marine building programme. Her individual fire-directors proclude her classification as a Dreadnoguht despite her all-big-gun armament. While not the largest ship in the water, she is the most expensive and capable.

Maybe I should do another Ultimate Admiral playthrough and post updates here... I have to figure out what is up with the AI aggression because in the final patch they avoid war like the plague and just keep trying to pay you off.

So, I got this little tank game called Multi Turret Academy, and it's a roguelike tankbuilder and I have the Char 2c's 152mm gun, with a 2 round autoloader. GLORIOUS
