****Surkuf submarine****
The Vichy French Navy's Surcouf submarine was the world's largest submarine before the advent of the Japanese I-400 class submarine.
The submarine Syrcouf was planned and construction began in 1926, launched on October 18, 1929, and commissioned on May 9, 1934. It had a very high displacement, 3,250 tons surfaced and 4,304 tons submerged.
The biggest difference between the Syrcouf submarine and other submarines is that it has a fixed turret in front of the conning tower, which houses two 203mm main guns. At that time, only ships of the heavy cruiser class were equipped with such main guns.
Because it is equipped with a huge turret, it is less concealed than other submarines.
Behind the command tower of the Syrkuf, there is a seaplane hangar housing a Besson MB411 seaplane. This seaplane can be disassembled and reassembled (disassembled when not in use and reassembled when in use), and is mainly used for guard duties.

****Mogador-class destroyer****
The Mogador-class destroyers were large destroyers built by the Vichy French Navy starting in 1935. Designed to accompany the high-speed Dunkerque-class battleships on reconnaissance missions, they were particularly focused on speed. This class was an improvement on the Fantastical-class destroyers, equipped with eight 138mm main guns mounted in four semi-enclosed twin turrets, giving them firepower comparable to some other countries' light cruisers.
Full load displacement: 4018 tons;
Main dimensions: 137.45 meters in length, 12.60 meters in width, and 5.00 meters in draft;
Speed: 39 knots (reached 43.78 knots during trial runs);
Crew: 238;
Main guns: four twin 138mm guns;
Torpedoes: Two triple 21.7-inch torpedo tubes and two twin 21.7-inch torpedo tubes;
Anti-aircraft weaponry: 4 x 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 4 x 13mm anti-aircraft guns;
Anti-submarine weaponry: 2 depth charge drop pods.

****Pluto-class Ultralight Cruiser****
It was the only class of fast mine-laying cruisers in Vichy France's 1925 shipbuilding program, and only one ship of this class was built, namely the "Pluto".
Since its primary mission was mine laying, it was only equipped with the 5.5-inch main guns used by destroyers.
It also adopted a long forecastle design and installed dedicated mine-laying equipment on the aft deck.
Construction began on April 16, 1928, in Loret, and it was launched on April 10, 1929. Completed on October 1, 1931, it was assigned to the 1st Flotilla for Mediterranean patrols. In 1933, it was converted into a training ship. In 1939, it was renamed "La Tour Towergne". On September 13 of the same year, while handling mines, it exploded and sank in the port of Casablanca, Morocco.
The main dimensions are: 144 meters in length, 15.5 meters in width, and 5.2 meters in draft.
Standard displacement 4850 tons
