Here they are : the plane...

... and the ship



Best regards

Nice one. Why are the names different though? I can't make out the aircraft but why Crocodile on Richelieu?

EFG on the plane, so obvious you can miss it
Crocodile : the ultimate armored amphibian...

Chungking was runover by the Japanese with a roll of 18.
Amsterdam was taken by the Germans.

Chungking fell.

Japanese movement before the fall of Chungking.

ORIGINAL: Admiral Delabroglio
Side note : in French, a ship is supposed to be "he", not "she". It was quite a shock to see Warspite1 refer to the "Richelieu" as a "she"...[&:]

No wonder the French kept losing naval wars against the British, if they think that ships are "he". [:)]

"No wonder the French kept losing naval wars against the British, if they think that ships are "he"."

Tourville, Duquesne, De Grasse and Jean Bart respectfully disagree with that statement.[:-]
True, after the French Revolution, most of the French nobles fled France, and since all the navy officers came from the nobility, France was left with a rump of a navy with no officers.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, victories were not quite that one sided.
For instance, the Battle of Yorktown, during the American Independance war, might very well have been an American defeat if French Admiral De Grasse had not beaten British admirals Hood and Graves.
