 ''Dunkerque'' was the lead ship of a class of two battleships built for the French Navy in the 1930s. Her sister ship was dubbed ''Strasbourg''. The two ships were the first capital ships to be built by the French Navy after World War I; the planned ''Normandie'' and ''Lyon'' classes had been cancelled at the outbreak of war, and budgetary problems prevented the French from building new battleships in the decade after the war. ''Dunkerque'' was laid down on 24 December 1932, launched on 2 October 1935, and was commissioned into service on 1 May 1937. She was armed with a main battery of eight (8) 330mm/50 Modèle 1931 guns arranged in two (2) quadruple gun turrets with a top speed of 29.5 knots (54.6 km/h; 33.9 mph). ''Dunkerque'' was the lead ship of a class of two battleships built for the French Navy in the 1930s.

?<br>''Dunkerque'' and ''Strasbourg'' formed the French Navy's 1ère Division de Ligne (1st Division of the Line) prior to World War II.

Following the fall of France in June 1940, she came under the control of the pro-German Vichy government and was re-based in French Algeria. The Royal Navy was very concerned of the possibility of former French naval units falling into the hands of the German Kriegsmarine, and made plans to destroy or cripple the surviving French ships.+''Dunkerque'' and ''Strasbourg'' formed the French Navy's 1ère Division de Ligne (1st Division of the Line) prior to World War II.

''Dunkerque'' was scuttled at Toulon in November 1942 to prevent her capture by the Germans, and subsequently seized and partially scrapped by the Italians and later the Germans. Her wreck remained in Toulon until she was stricken in 1955, and scrapped three years later.+Efforts to bring the ex-French Navy under Allied control were unsuccessful.

Special

Dunkerque — French special premium Tier VI battleship.

After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the design of ships of a new class began. In the early 1930s, a ship project was ready with eight 330 mm guns in two quadruple-gun turrets and a displacement of 26,500 tons. At the beginning of World War II, Dunkerque participated in patrol and escort operations, and then she was sent to the Mediterranean Sea. As a result of the attack on Mers-el-Kébir, the battlecruiser was heavily damaged and ran aground.

Performance

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Dunkerque from the NA forums


Pros:

  • Reliable frontal armor allows her to maximize her turret layout.
  • Best-in-tier turret traverse speed.
  • Good shell velocity and penetration.
  • Excellent main battery range (second only to Fuso at Tier VI).
  • Outstanding speed. Dunkerque is the fastest Tier VI battleship in the game.
  • Good dispersion.

Cons:

  • Large profile ensures most incoming rounds will find something to hit.
  • With only two turrets, turret incapacitation or destruction is her worst nightmare.
  • Poor rear armor.
  • Very long rudder shift time makes her difficult to maneuver in tight quarters.
  • Below average torpedo protection; every torpedo that hits home will hit hard.
  • Underwhelming AA suite leaves her highly vulnerable to enemy aircraft.
