Hello!
The book French Battleships 1922-56 mentions that for the Alsace-class battleship designs, studies for 400, 406, and 420mm guns were ordered. Additionally, a 406mm naval gun was created by the Schneider company for the Soviet Union, and a 431mm naval gun was created: the elusive Canon de 431 mm modèle 1939. Does anyone have any information on these guns?
