The shipbuilders were able to expand the limits they had when designing the Bretagne and Normandie classes. Larger caliber guns had not yet been developed in France, so it was decided to increase the number of 340 mm guns. The final design included four quadruple-gun main turrets mounted on a hull that was slightly bigger than that of the Normandie class. However, due to the outbreak of World War I, these ships were never laid down.</p><p> </p></div>
A battleship design created before the outbreak of World War I, representing an improvement on the previous ''[[Normandie]]'' class but carrying enhanced primary armament. The addition of the fourth main gun turret allowed the ship to deliver a unique, 16-gun broadside salvo.


|Performance= {{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
===Pros===
<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
* High barrel count ensures good salvo weight
Essentially ''Normandie'' with a fourth turret superfiring aft, Tier VII's ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' stands out among ships with the joint largest (by shell count) main battery broadside in the game; a fact sure to please or frighten any captain, depending on which side of the salvo they are on. However, the accuracy of individual shells is still questionable, as is the AP penetration. Captains should be prepared to switch ammunition types depending on the situation.
* High firing range with high shell velocity
* Small size enabled small turning circle


Like her predecessors, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' does not have the most impressive armor, keeping largely the same armor scheme with only a few extra millimeters of thickness here and there.  Her firing angles are still poor, and to make matters worse, her turret traverse time and firing range are worse than that of ''Normandie'', though the latter is average among her tier VII peers.  This makes it tricky to deploy her firepower without unacceptable risk; captains must wait for opponents to be distracted or reloading before turning to unmask all four turrets. The maneuverability at least is still very good, if not quite to the level of ''Normandie''.
===Cons===
* Small HP Pool
* Poor torpedo protection
* Poor individual shell performance


Her secondaries are an improvement over her predecessor's already potent array, to the point where even German counterpart ''Gneisenau'' would be jealous: 12 barrels on each side, with a solid fire rate and a massive 9% fire chance.  Brawling with ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is not recommended, however, due to her lighter armor.  Unlike ''Normandie'', ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can claim a modern AA suite that is one of the best among her tier of battleships; it is several times more effective.


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
==Ship Stats==
* With 16 main guns, ''Lyon'' has the heaviest broadside of all tier VII battleships.
<div class="b-popup"><div class="b-popup_head js-tech-nav_head"><div><h2>Hull Information</h2></div><span class="b-tech-nav_arrow"></span></div><div class="b-popup_content" style="display: none;"><div>
* Insane alpha strike damage (9500 x 16 = 152000).
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
* Devastating against lightly armored targets. Cruisers can routinely be one-shot from full health, and destroyers can lose a lot of health from numerous penetrations and overpenetrations.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
* Can "Shotgun" most targets that get too close, especially if they show broadside.

| style="color:inherit;" | • Hit Points || style="color:inherit;" | 46000 || style="color:inherit;" | 53400
* Surprisingly strong Secondary armament.
|-
* Has among the shortest Hulls of all tier VII battleships along with ''[[Colorado]]'' - combined with her turn radius, this makes dodging torpedoes easier.
| style="color:inherit;" | • Torpedo protection damage reduction (%) || colspan="2" style="color:inherit;" | —
* Fast HE main battery shells, which outpace her AP shells at all ranges.

|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
* Lowest hit point pool of all Tier VII battleships.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
* Poor armor and very weak torpedo protection. Will take a beating in a secondary brawl with ships like the ''[[Gneisenau]]''.
! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" | ARMOR DETAIL !! style="background-color:#1a3244; color:#ffffff; font-weight:bold;" |
* Unfavorable dispersion at range and the worst sigma values at Tier VII.
|-
* AP shells are very lightweight and may struggle to deal damage against well armored and/or angled targets. AP shells are also on the more slower end.
| style="color:inherit;" | • Belt (mm) || style="color:inherit;" | —
* HE shells have lowest fire chance of all Tier VII battleships, and have limited effectiveness in general. This is partially compensated by their large volume.
|-
* Slow turning turrets. Will often have to turn the ship in order to get guns aimed onto the target.
| style="color:inherit;" | • Deck (mm) || style="color:inherit;" | —
* Slower than its predecessor ''[[Normandie]]'' and generally more sluggish.
|-
* Average main battery range, just a touch shorter than ''[[Colorado]]''.

<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
Availability of researchable upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is as follows:  
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
* '''Hull:'''  Upgrade to Hull (B) for additional hit points, a significant bump up in anti-aircraft power, and faster rudder traverse. Research of this module unlocks progression to ''[[Richelieu]]''.

* '''Gun Fire Control System:'''  Upgrade to PCA n° 7 Mle 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
|-
* '''Propulsion:'''  Upgrading to the second propulsion module increases ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s top speed by 1.4 knots.

|}
</div>


As with most battleships, Hull (B) is the best place to invest early experience gains in ''{{#var:ship_name}}''; the additional health is welcome, and the increase in her anti-aircraft suite is significant. The range upgrade is probably the next best pick-up, followed by the extra speed.

===History===
<!-- Consumables have to be tagged individually on a slot by slot basis -->
The ''Lyon class'' was a proposed type of battleship which was planned for the French Navy in 1913, with construction scheduled to begin in 1915. The class was to have comprised four ships: ''Lyon'', ''Lille'', ''Duquesne'', and ''Tourville''. The first two were named for cities in [[France]], while the rest honored French admirals Abraham Duquesne and Anne Hilarion de Tourville. The design was an improvement on the previous ''[[Normandie]]'' class, and mounted a fourth quadruple gun turret, for a total of sixteen 340 mm (13 in) guns. Construction was cancelled due to the outbreak of World War I in August 1914 before any of the ships could be laid down.

Lyon — France Tech Tree Tier VII Battleship.

In 1912, France started building new, bigger docks. The shipbuilders were able to expand the limits they had when designing the Bretagne and Normandie classes. Larger caliber guns had not yet been developed in France, so it was decided to increase the number of 340 mm guns. The final design included four quadruple-gun main turrets mounted on a hull that was slightly bigger than that of the Normandie class. However, due to the outbreak of World War I, these ships were never laid down.

Pros

  • High barrel count ensures good salvo weight
  • High firing range with high shell velocity
  • Small size enabled small turning circle

Cons

  • Small HP Pool
  • Poor torpedo protection
  • Poor individual shell performance
