Alsace class battleship

Alsace class battleship

The "Alsace" class battleships were planned to succeed and enlarge the "Richelieu" class. With the Fall of France in 1940, none of the ships was built.

Six names were proposed, and two had to be chosen from this list: "Alsace", "Normandie", "Flandre", "Bourgogne"; two more units were not given names. The laying down of the "Alsace" was planned for 1942.

The design planned for an improved "Richelieu" design with three triple or quadruple 380 mm turrets (two fore, one aft).
