Lyon
In 1912, France started building new, bigger docks. The shipbuilders were able to expand the limits they had when designing the Bretagne and Normandie classes. Larger caliber guns had not yet been developed in France, so it was decided to increase the number of 340 mm guns. The final design included four quadruple-gun main turrets mounted on a hull that was slightly bigger than that of the Normandie class. However, due to the outbreak of World War I, these ships were never laid down.
