Range and detection
Every bar uses the same 15 km scale. Surface detection is a visibility threshold, not a weapon range.

Vauquelin
For the first time in the French Navy, welding was widely used in the construction of the Vauquelin-class leaders. The 138.6 mm guns were replaced with the newer model of 1927, and the position and number of torpedo tubes changed. All of them were named after famous French sailors of the past. The lead ship of the series served in the southern Mediterranean region at the beginning of World War II.
