Aren't Rosie Red and Mrs. Met sisters?

Wait... SHE RETAINED HER TORPEDO TUBES!?! What were the French thinking(or not thinking) when they built her

Considering that she was basically a battleship with a flight deck in place of her guns while retaining all of the armor and interior spaces for said turrets?

Probably why I like that era in Naval Design, they weren't afraid to try new things. Some worked some didn't

I mean you are not entirely wrong there, I just have a soft spot for the oddball ships. Like Long Beach.. Even built a 1/1250 scale model of her out of paper

Sir, I beg you.. do not insult my beloved Cube like that.. if the conversion to a strike cruiser had actually panned out she would have been Beautiful
