Happend to come by this, enjoy. Also this may give you a perspective of the size of ships,
and the scale in the game. (if anyone can find the origional poster that'd be awesome)

Battleship - Provinces
Armament - 6 or 9 17.7in
There is a lack of a BB5 for the French Navy, therefore, keeping as historically accurate
as possible. I propose that the never built 17.7 in gun be mounted on a modified Alsace
Class in triple turrets. The gun, developed in 1920, was rejected as the main armament
over the 15in for Battleships. Since Navyfield takes free liberty in ships that could be
and others that clearly never were. (Graf Zepplin II, DDX, Z-99, Tsukike, I'm looking at
you) Since those ships were included, I really don't think this would be too much to ask.
Here are the guns specifics.

all French carrier projects, in case the Diximude and Commadante Teste are unfavored.
(also look at the PA - 5b and PA - 6, they would be a great addition if you were to split
French CV lines into heavily armed slow CV's and fast lightly armed ones)
Carrier 5 - PA-14 (1935) - 19000t
Armament - 12 3.9in 77 Aircraft
A variant of the PA-13 only with a smaller island and larger plane space. In theory it
would be said that it origanlly would hold 77 bi-planes so therefore could hold more than
77 folding wing aircraft. So ingame it would have more capaciaty (thank you navyfield
physics) and be the final, and largest French Carrier.
Carrier 4 - PA-13 (1935) - 19000t
Armament - 12 3.9in 70 Aircraft
One of many plans drawn up leading to the Joffre, PA-13 first introduced the offset flight
deck (in order to counter the weight of the island) The large PA-13 had two hangers, and
a decent AA armament, as well as a turbo-electric drive. Never laid down, many featrues of
the PA-13 were included in the later Joffre.

*Premium Light Cruiser*
Coastal Defense Battleship - Bouvines (1890) Bouvines Class 6681t 17knots
Armament - 2 12in (two turrets) 8 3.9in. Armor - 18in Belt 4in Deck
What will become the slowest, but best armored PCL in game, the Bouvines was a coastal
defense battleship designed to protect harbors from fast cruiser attacks. She embraces
the word battleship rather well despite her small size. With both armament and armor of
one, she will be a powerful ship that can take quite a beating. Of course all this comes
at a great cost of speed, although she is a small target, she is clearly not a fast one.

Destroyer - Fleuret (1938) Le Hardi class - 1770t 37knots
Armament- 6 5.1in, 2 37mm, 4 13.2mm, 7 21.7 TT Armor- none
Intreasting destroyer, Made specificaly to escort the Dunkerque class. Only
shortcomming was that the guns couldn't elevate past 30 Degrees. It would be intreasting
to see two of these folowing a Dunkerque into battle.
* This is the Le Hardi
Destroyer- Aigle (1931) 2441t 36knots
Armament- 5 5.5in, 4 37mm, 6 21.7 TT Armor 3in Belt
A fast DD with rapid firing guns. She could easily take on a DDX.
Destroyer - Le Triomphant (1934) Le Fantasque class - 2569t 40knots
Armament - 5 5.5in, 9 21.7in TT Armor-None
One of a class of large destoryers. Lasted the war and was finally put out of service
in 1954.
Destroyer- Volta (1936) Mogador Class - 2885t 39knots
Armament- 8 5.5in, 10 31.7in TT 4 37mm (to lazy to convert) Armor-None
Her class served well with no major distinctions, both ships being scuttled. They will be
one of the more powerful DD's on the servers.
Destroyer - L'Adroit (1925) L'Adroit Class 1356t 33 knots
Armament - 4 5.1in, 6 21.7in TT
Early Destroyer class, served in WWII with the majority being sunk. What wasn't sunk
either got scuttled at Toulon or joind the Allies.
Submarine - Surcouf (1929) 3250t surface/ 4304t submerged 18knots/8.5knots
8 - 21.7in TT ( 4 bow, 4 external mounts)

APA - Barfleur (1939)
The specifications of this ship are of no concern.
_________________------------ITALIAN---------___________________________________
*Premium Battleship* Dante Alighieri (1910) 19,552t 22 knots
Armament - 12 12in, 20 - 4.7in
The first italian dreadnought. She mounted 4 triple turrets along the centerline,
resembling the Ganugut class, already in game, only with a smaller profile. She will serve
as the PBB, capable of handling herself without being overpowered.
Battleship - Cassone's 1921 45,000t 35-40knots
Armament - 8 - 18in, ???
A proposed ship by Ferdinando Cassone, there is little chance that they were even considered.
Battleship - Progetto UP41 (1936) 55,000t 30knots
Armament - 9 16in, 12 6in,
The powerful project battlship, none of which were made.
Battleship - Leonardo da Vinc or Imperio Roma ???? ??knots
Armament 12 - 15in 12 6in Floatplanes - 2
An enlarged Littorio design, simply a Littorio with a Y - turret
Battleship- Vittorio Veneto (1937) Littorio Class 40520 30knots
Armament- 9 15in, 12 6in, 4 4.7in, 12 3.6in, 20 37mm(AA), 16 20mm (AA), Armor
Floatplanes = 2 Reggiane Re2000
Most modern BB when war broke out, made to
have 16in main guns.
Battleship - Francesco Caracciolo (1910) Caracciolo Class 34,000t 28knots
Armament - 8 15in, 12 6in, 4 4in, 12 40mm
A never finished design that was laid down. All had to be stopped due to lack of
materials, if finished, they would have been more powerful then their contemporary
rivals.
Battleship- Conte Di Cavour Class (1937) 29032t 28knots
Armament- 10 12.6 in, 12 4.7in, 8 3.9in AA, 12 37mm, 16 20mm, Armor- 10in Belt
Could be compared to the Rebuilds of the Nevada and Pennsylvaina, to say the least.
Battleship Conte Di Cavor Class (1911) 22,992t 21.6knots
Armament 13 12in, 18 4.7in, 13 3in
Carrier - Imperio 45000t - 55000t
Armament - 8 6in Aricraft
The model featured below is preserved in Venice, it was believed to be a concept for the
Aquila but after much examination it was found to be a conversion of the Imperio Although
details
are scarce and there are no official documents anymore, it can be extrapolated that under
full load she would displace about 50000 - 55000 tons. This would put her at more DP than
the Saratoga. She would fit in as the Italian CV5 Officially, it it unnamed, I chose
Imperio since it is based off the Imperios hull. As for Aircraft numbers, I'm not sure, it can
only be assumed. I'd say about 9800 space.
Carrier - Bonfiglietti 1929 18000t 29 knots
Armament - 8 - 6in 48 (?) aircraft
CV4, the aircraft used when it was designed were considerably larger than the ones in
1940's, only 6 had folded wings, so it can be assumed that the number of Aircraft would be
considerably higher. The use of this design now allows no repeat of the CV 4 to CV5 <3
Carrier - Aquila (1926) 23350t 30knots
Armament- 8 5.3in 32 20mm AA 51 Aircraft
The closest thing the Italians had to a proper carrier. Originally the cruise ship Roma,
her conversion was halted and after the surrender she was sabataoged to prevent german
use. Post war she was raised for completion, but the plans didn't carry out, she was
scrapped in the early 50's.
Carrier- Sparviero 20knts
Armament - 6 6in 45 Aircraft
Originally the cruise liner Augustus, war stopped the conversion process. Unfinished she
was surrendered to the Germans, and eventually sunk as a block ship. She will most likely
be the most bizzare looking ship in the entire game, her former hull clearly visable under
the narrow flight deck. A decent airwing and heavy armament makes up for her slow speed.
Aircraft Cruiser - Rota Project 1925 (1925) 12500t
Armament- 8 7.9in 25 Aircraft
A paper ship designed when the Italian navy was trying to develop a hybrid anti aircraft
ship, capable of heavy AA fire and launching Fighter planes. Essentially a heavy cruiser
(mounting two quad 7.9in guns) and a full length flight deck. The entire Anti aircraft
Cruiser poject, and all designs, including the Rota were cancled. In Navyfield she will
provide a brutal escort carrier, speedy and heavily armed, she would be capable of
protecting the other carriers from most ships. As noted, her funnles and mast were
actually ont he centerline of the flight deck, they would be collapsed during flight
operations and the sidemounted funnles would be swung up. In game I figure it would appear
with the funnles and masts down. (though it would look nicer with them up)
Aircraft Cruiser - Bolzano (1942) 9000t 25knots
Armament - 10 - 3.5in 12 Aircraft
In 1942, Italy was in dire need of a ship capable of AA and fighter escort, it was decided
upon to that the Heavy cruiser Bolzano, which had been nearly destroied and in serious
need of repairs, and convert her into an aircraft transport capable of operations as well.
The ship was to be gutted, two catapults fitted, and a massive overhaul to complete the
project. Construction never began and all ideas were abandoned.
*Premium Heavy Cruiser - San Giorgio (1908) 10167t 23.2knots
Armament- 4 10in, 8 7.5in, 3 17.7in TT Armor- 8in belt
Built as an armored cruiser, the Sang Giorgio serverd in both world wars and the
Italian-Turkish War. By WWII she was hopelessly outdated, lacking the fire control
systems and armor to take on modern heavy cruisers. It was then decided to modernize her
into a monitor for the African coast, and put a heavy AA armament on. She spent the war in
Tobruk, fortified almost like a floating fortress. She even slowed the british advancement
at one point with her main cannos, but all for not, when the British entered Tobruk the
Italians scuttled her. After the War in 1951, she was raised and towed back to Italy, only
to sink in transit. In game she would appear in her origianl layout, before modernization.
Heavy Cruiser - Trento (1926) 13000t 36knots
Armament - 8 8in 12 3.9in Armor 2.7in belt 3 floatplanes
The first Italian cruisers that complied to the Naval Treaty, she was also the first to
really sacrafice armor for speed. Together with her 2 sister ships (Trieste and Bolzano)
she formed a attack squad that operated throughout the Mediterranean. She was torpedoed
durning Operation Vigorous and sunk with heavy loss of her crew.
Heavy Cruiser - Bolzano (1928) 13200t 36knots
Armament - 8 8in 12 3.9in Armor 2.7in belt 3 floatplanes
Technically a member of the Trento class, she was built two years later and included many
modfications, so she was more of a half sister ship than a true one. She served
undistinguished though out the war until being heavily damaged by a British submarine.
Her damage was extensive and plans were made to convert her into a fighter/AA escort.
(Pictured above in the carrier section as a remodel) Plans never went through and she was
captured by the Germans, sunk then sold for scrap post war.
Heavy Cruiser- Zara (1930) 11680t 32knots
Armament- 8 8in, 16 3.9in Armor- 9in belt 2 Floatplanes
*Premium Light Cruiser - Dogali (1885) 19.7 knots
Armament - 4 6in Armor - 6in Deck
A thrid rate protected cruiser when she was built, she survived for 45 years being
scrapped in 1930. This is her true layout, fitting a PCL layout to the key, what she
lacks in firepower she makes up in heavy armor.
Light Cruiser - Abruzzi Class (1937) 9440 - 11,575t 34knots
Armament
10 - 6in/55 Mod 36 (2x3, 2x2)
8 - 3.9in/47 AA (4x2)
6 - 21in TT (2x3)
Aircraft - 3
Armor: Deck - 1.5in Belt - 5.1in
Light Cruiser- Duca D' Aosta Class (1932) 8317t 37knots
8 - 6in/53 Mod 29 (4x2)
6 - 3.9in/47 AA (3x2)
6 - 21in TT (3x2)
Aircraft - 3
Armor: Deck - 1.3in Belt - 4.1in
Light Cruiser - Capitani Romani Class (1939) 3686 - 5334t 40knots
Armament
8 - 5.3in/45 Mod 38 (4x2)
8 - 21in TT (2x4)
Destroyer- Turbine (1927) Turbine Class - 1560t 36knots
Armament - 4 4.7in, 2 40mm AA, 2 13.2mm AA, 6 21in TT, 52 mines. Armor - None
Despite being over 10 year's old when WWII started, the entire class served well, with
only the loss of 1 ship, to german aircrafr. Small, fast destroyers that can pack a punch.
APA - Type M2
The specifications of this ship are of no concern.
