? | + | ''Jean Bart'' was a French battleship of World War II, named for the 17th-century seaman, privateer, and corsair ''Jean Bart''. She was the second ''[[Richelieu]]''-class battleship. Derived from the ''[[Dunkerque]]'' class, ''Jean Bart'' (and her sister ship ''[[Richelieu]]'') 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.<br /> | ||
+ | ''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. | |||
