Product Details
- Béarn was an aircraft carrier converted from an incomplete Normandie-class battleship for the Marine nationale (French Navy) during the 1920s. Completed in 1927, the French intended her for use as an experimental ship, and she was slated for replacement in the 1930s by two new ships of the Joffre class although they were never built. The only aircraft carrier France produced until after World War II, the ship played a minor role in the war. (info from Wikipedia).
