Ship:Marceau

X

26,000 doubloons

Marceau — France Special Tier X Destroyer.

In 1939, amid rising worldwide tensions, it was decided to continue building the leaders and increase the number of Mogador-class ships to six. Destroyer Marceau was never laid down, and construction works were suspended after France declared war on Germany. Due to the defeat of France in the summer of 1940, the ship was never built. If the construction had continued after the war, the ship could have received American 127 mm dual-purpose guns.

Pros

• High damage per minute.
• Excellent turret traverse speed.
• High top speed.

Cons

• High detectability.
• Smoke Generator consumable unavailable.
• Short-range torpedoes.
