After the order was made for the two leaders of the Mogador class, the new ships of this type were not laid down for several years. In 1939, it was decided to continue building the leaders due to the deteriorating international situation. The new project included enhanced AA defenses. However, the outbreak of hostilities caused the construction to be suspended and then canceled. In 1940, there was a second attempt to build four ships armed with 130 mm dual-purpose guns, but the German offensive and capitulation of France interfered with those plans.
