Francuski pancernik Soult z 1893 r.

 Dziś drugi, pomniejszony wariant pancernika inż. Charlesa Huina, prezentowanego w poście z 15 sierpnia. W zasadzie jest do niego bardzo podobny, z tym że ma mniejsze wymiary i wyporność ograniczoną do 11000 ton, oraz uzbrojenie składające się z 4 dział kal. 274 mm w wieżach działowych (podobnie jak artyleria średnia kal. 138 mm). Proponowany okręt prezentuje typowo francuskie kształty kadłuba z silnym dośrodkowym pochyleniem burt, posiada nadbudówki z dwoma masztami bojowymi upodabniającymi go do pancernika Hoche, silnie wygiętą stewę dziobową w stylu krążownika D’Entrecasteaux z dodatkową ostrogą taranu poniżej linii wodnej. Podobnie jak poprzednio, wykonałem symulację okrętu w springsharpie, a za wzór rysunków wziąłem rysunki z forum shipbucket.
