For those of you that believe that one photo is worth 1,000 words, here is a new photo CD with about 236,000 words in high resolution. These are high quality images that were taken at various periods during the war of a variety of French Navy warships. These included:
- Aircraft Carrier Bearn
- Battleship Lorraine
- Battleship Richelieu
- Cruiser Elime Bertin
- Cruiser George Leygues
- Cruiser Jeanne d'Arc
- Cruiser Le Gloire
- Cruiser Montcalm
- Cruiser Tourville
- Destroyer La Fantasque
- Destroyer Le Malin
- Destroyer Le Triomphant
- Destroyer Le Terrible
- and more
In addition to the above, the CD covers a variety of Corvettes, Frigates, Merchant Ships, Sloops, and Submarines. The photos are high resolution many over 3000 pixels wide.
As with the Somers Class release (reviewed here), this CD-ROM is menu-driven and displayed on your web browser to allow you to navigate through the informative pages and view the high-resolution content. If you're a naval historian and/or naval modeler, you'll find lots of material here that you won't see in such clear resolution in print.
This title is recommended!

My sincere thanks to AA Military Research for this review sample!
