The French Musée National de la Marine or National Maritime Museum have some photos online of their collection. Including their models of Richelieu and Jean Bart. Might be useful references for someone?

Richelieu here:

Jean Bart here:

I was lucky enough to see them 'in the flesh' in Paris a few years ago. Lovely models.

A clip from 1943 showing Richelieu ready for battle as she emerged from her U.S. refit:

As has been mentioned here before I'm sure, Richelieu and Jean Bart went on exercise together only once in their careers, in January 1956. There are photos of this rare event in some of the books on the class.

However it seems the event was also filmed. Look what I found on the French Ministry of Defence Images website:

No commentary or anything, but the 17 minute long clip contains some lovely aerial and onboard footage of both Richelieu and Jean Bart.

Hello. I'm building Richelieu and I'm looking for news and pictures or drawings of life rafts. Illustrative photo at the link.

It is blurry and you cannot see much of it, and I would like something more precise.
Please help.

I am interested in the period 1944-45. It reminds me more of Navy Balsa Life Float / Raft
But from what I can see it's probably some French invention. For the fact that I have seen such in Strasbourg
