Cherbourg — France Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

After signing the Washington Naval Treaty, France had the right to build new battleships despite the restrictions on ships of this type. The design of new ships began; they could be classified as battlecruisers or "large" cruisers in terms of their characteristics. In 1930, a project for a new ship was developed. It had a displacement of 23,333 tons, a speed of 30 knots, and was armed with eight 305 mm guns in two quadruple-gun turrets on the bow.
