WoWs Cruiser Toulon

Overview

After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, France had the right to build new battleships to replace their old ones. In the 1920s, the design of a new ship class began. These ships could have been classified as battlecruisers or large cruisers in terms of their characteristics. The first project for a ship of this type was a cruiser with a displacement of 17,500 tons, armed with eight 305 mm guns in two quadruple-gun turrets.
