Part of the Super Drawings in 3D series

Paperback / softback

Description

The Richelieu was a French battleship, and the lead ship of her class.

She was the first French 35,000-ton battleship, designed to counter the Italian Littorio class battleships, the first modern battleships built since the 1922 Treaty of Washington. Ordered in 1935, she was a scaled-up version of the Dunkerque class battleships, featuring a main armament of eight 380 mm guns in two quadruple turrets in forward superfiring positions.

Her armour and underwater protection were equal to her contemporaries, except the Japanese Yamato class battleships.

Her speed was surpassed only by the fastest U.S. Navy battleships. About the SeriesThis brand-new series focuses on the construction of famous ships- battleships, carriers, cruisers, and submarines.

With ground-breaking 3D imagery, each corner, angle, and dimension of the ship is viewable.

With various close-up views, and each 3D image based on actual technical scale drawings and photographs, this is an exceptional reference tool.

Information on the design, development and combat history of each vessel is also included, as well as numerous photographs and 1/350th scale drawings.
