You mean the proposals with lenghtened hull and 80,000 HP engines for 26kts? Yeah it would be light years better than Bearn, even better if Bearn is modernized in the same way, or modified during conversion.


Wasn't also the case of being entitled for a replacement for the sunk France? But finishing jus a single Normandie as a replacement would probably be awkward in term of tactical cohesiveness, so it needs to be a pair at least. Not sure if the WNT allows that, or since France was supposed to be entitled to lay down new BBs starting in 1927, perhaps the second Normandie could be finished against that provision?
