''Dunkerque'' began service in April 1936 while still not fully complete. Work remained to be finished on her superstructure and her light anti-aircraft complement had not been installed. She continued sea trials through 1937, and represented France during the coronation review for Britain’s George VI in May. Afterward, she embarked on a series of colonial visits, returning to France in early 1938, at which time she actively joined the fleet as the flagship of the Atlantic Squadron. | ''Dunkerque'' began service in April 1936 while still not fully complete.

+ | * Catapult fighter is the Dewoitine HD.780, a floatplane derivative of the D.520. Only one prototype was built and it never flew or entered service. | |||
+ | * ''Dunkerque''’s camouflaged hull resembles the late war British Admiralty Standard paint scheme, which was actually applied to ''[[Richelieu]]'' in 1945. Demounting the premium camouflage will reveal ''Dunkerque''’s historical appearance, but at the cost of the camouflage's bonuses. | |||
+ | * Early 1940 overall dark grey 'Atlantic' livery is missing. ''Dunkerque'' was still wearing this paint scheme in February 1942. | |||
+ | * The tricolour bands on ''Dunkerque''’s turrets indicate she is in 1942 condition, when she was under Vichy control; the HD.780 catapult fighter was scrapped in 1940 and the British Admiralty Standard paint scheme was only painted on French ships that sided with the Allies. | |||

Dunkerque — French special premium Tier VI battleship.
A high-speed battlecruiser designed to counter German heavy cruisers. The ship had good torpedo protection, carried numerous dual-purpose guns and had powerful horizontal armor. Her main turrets were placed in the fore end thus making any aft firing scenarios impossible.
Dunkerque first went on sale on 22 August 2016 on the NA servers, and on 28 August 2016 on the EU servers.

Player Opinion
Performance
Dunkerque is unique from the other Tier VI battleships with her high top speed and entirely forward-facing armament. She plays extremely similar to North Carolina, Iowa, Nelson, or Izumo in that she is very durable when bow on, but has weak armor when broadside. Be careful to avoid close quarter brawl or static bow-on battle with other battleships early in the game as a well placed salvo can disable one or even both of her turrets.
Her guns have a high muzzle velocity with fast shell travel time, but dispersion can be annoying at times. She is good at killing destroyers and cruisers, but will struggle against a well-angled battleship in much the same way as Scharnhorst does. However, she can outrun equal tier battleships, so smart captains maximize her speed to decline unfavorable engagements, support their teams in killing enemy cruisers, and punish battleships who make positional mistakes.
Pros:
- Turret layout means bow-on brings all eight guns to bear on a target.
- Armor is very likely to bounce 14-inch (and below) armor-piercing rounds, due to overmatch mechanics.
- Best-in-tier turret traverse speed.
- Good shell velocity.
- Excellent main battery range (second only to Fuso at Tier VI).
- Secondaries are concentrated in the back which can defend her from a destroyer who sneaks up from behind.
- Outstanding speed. Dunkerque is the fastest Tier VI battleship in the game.
- Rudder shift is insanely fast for a battleship, can be boosted by Steering Gears Modification 2 to be even faster.
- An excellent main battery reload time of just 26 seconds
Cons:
- Large profile ensures most incoming rounds will find something to hit.
- With only two turrets, turret incapacitation or destruction is her worst nightmare.
- Turning is rather slow, especially due to her turn radius.
- Below average torpedo protection; every torpedo that hits home will hit hard and her size means avoiding them is challenging.
- Underwhelming AA suite leaves her highly vulnerable to enemy aircraft.
- Orientation of secondary batteries limits their usefulness in close-quarters situations from the front.
- 15-inch guns (380mm) such as those on Warspite can overmatch her frontal armor, leading to possible citadel hits when bow-on to certain enemies.
- As with most battleships of her tier, fires are a serious threat to her.
- Opposing light cruisers with the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells skill are an above-average threat due to the extent of her 25mm armor plating.
Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Dunkerque are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
- Slot 3: AA Guns Modification 1 *
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
Upgrade Slot 3 gives players a choice between mounting AA Guns Modification 1 to slightly increase the power of the AA armament, and Aiming Systems Modification 1 to reduce shell dispersion and boost the effectiveness of the secondary armament.
Commander Skills
With all of her firepower in two turret modules, Level 1's Preventative Maintenance is highly recommended in order to increase the survivability of her main battery and reduce instances of potentially catastrophic turret destruction. Other key skills for Dunkerque commanders include High Alert, Basics of Survivability, and Advanced Firing Training. Fire Prevention is worth the points as well, given the size of her superstructure and how many cruisers captains at Tier VI fire nothing but high explosive rounds.

Consumables
Dunkerque can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Repair Party
- Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft or Catapult Fighter
As with most battleships, captains are encouraged to invest credits (or doubloons) into Damage Control Party II () and Repair Party II () in order to maximize their survivability.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Dunkerque comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Dunkerque also has a alternate Premium camouflage called "Fleur d'acier" that was rewarded from the missions "The Colors Of Dunkerque" and/or "Flower of Steel".
Signals
Combat signals that increase her durability are must-haves for Dunkerque: India Delta () and India Yankee () are highly recommended, and Juliet Yankee Bissotwo () is not a bad idea, either. November Echo Setteseven () can help shore up her naturally weak anti-aircraft armament, especially when paired with the Basic Firing Training commander skill.
