She was the second . Derived from the , ''Jean Bart'' (and her sister ship ) were designed to fight the new battleships of the Italian Navy. Their speed, shielding, armament, and overall technology were state of the art, but they had a rather unusual main battery armament arrangement, with two 4-gun turrets forward and none aft. ''Jean Bart'' was incomplete when France surrendered to Germany in June 1940. She sailed from Saint-Nazaire to Casablanca just before the Armistice. She was sunk in harbour in 1942. After the war she was re-floated, completed with an updated anti-aircraft battery, and entered service in 1955. She had a very short career: ''Jean Bart'' was put into reserve in 1957, decommissioned in 1961, and scrapped in 1969. == Design == The ''Richelieu''-class was designed in response to the Italian s laid down in 1934, with being laid down in 1935. When Germany laid down the two s in November 1935 and June 1936, France ordered the second ''Richelieu'', ''Jean Bart''. ''Jean Bart'' was intended to be the exact sister ship of , with the same tons Standard displacement, same hull dimensions (length : , beam : , draught : ), same armament, protection, and propulsion. Her general layout, with two four-gun turrets forward, originated with the battleship class. The quadruple turret had first been proposed for France's last pre-World War I battleship projects, the (, and s. The quad turret was also featured on nearly all the French battleship projects in the 1920s,. The "all forward" main battery arrangement was influenced by pre-1921 British battlecruiser projects and the s. The ''Richelieu''-class battleships had, with calibre guns, and thick belt armor covering approximately 60% of total length, the same hitting and staying power as contemporary battleships built within the limit of tons displacement in the Washington Naval Treaty. The 32 knot maximum speed was surpassed only by the U.S. s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French battleship Jean Bart (1940)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
