Metz

France Cruiser

The design for a "17,500-ton battlecruiser" was developed in the mid-1920s. This original ship was intended to combat a new threat, the so-called "treaty cruisers," which had emerged as a result of the Washington Naval Treaty. The design was never implemented but became a forerunner of the Dunkerque-class battleships.
