Bonjour Monsieur Lallemand
The analysis of the Battleship Arles has been done, and unfortunately, it was filled with bad news.
The Arles was extremely damaged during the Battle of Provence. The reactor overloaded, it burned out along with a large part of the weapons and electronics system. The ammunition reserve was hit, causing the superstructure to die. Only the electronics in the command post are working... but the systems are corrupted.
I'll be brief... it would cost a lot of money to fix it. We could always take the wreck to Rambouillet to dismantle it, which would allow the creation of a new battleship much faster and cheaper. But we would still need the agreement of the Marine Nationale before we could try anything.
