After joining the Free French Naval Forces in December 1942, Lorraine was refitted for active service. At the French surrender in July 1940, Lorraine was moored in Alexandria, where she was disarmed by the Royal Navy. After the outbreak of World War II, Lorraine carried a shipment of gold from the French treasury to Bermuda before returning to operate in the Mediterranean. She was modernized significantly in the 1920s and 1930s, and in 1935 her amidships 340 mm gun turret was removed and aircraft facilities were installed in its place. During World War I, she was stationed at Corfu to prevent the Austro-Hungarian fleet from leaving the Adriatic Sea, but she saw no action. Lorraine spent the bulk of her career in the French Mediterranean Squadron. She was armed with a main battery of ten 340 mm (13 in) guns and had a top speed of 20 knots. Lorraine was laid down in August 1912 at the Chantiers de Penhoët shipyard, launched in September 1913, and commissioned into the fleet in March 1916, after the outbreak of World War I.
The below ships are all available in World of Warships Blitz now.Lorraine was a member of the Bretagne class, alongside her two sister ships, Bretagne and Provence. To coincide with their weaker armor, they do have very accurate guns. Fast and agile, this is uncommon for this particular class of ship, but they can move even faster, using the Engine Accelerator skill. The downside is that these guns have a weaker caliber. The high-tier battleships will also boast strong AA armaments, and their turrets now have four guns. They ultimately wind up incredibly fast, and from Tier VII and up, they show off something special. But the greater you progress into the tech tree, you see where the French battleships begin to shine. At lower tiers, these battleships are much like the other nations battleships – they hit hard and have sturdy armor. The premiere French battleship is without a doubt the Turenne, which is a Tier III and is researchable from Friant, the Tier III cruiser. The latest update for World of Warships Blitz is here, and with it comes eight new French battleships that are ready to do battle.
