@everybody: Thanks for the kind words
@Fahnenbohn:
The hull is slightly bended; the forecastle raises by about 30 cm to the bow; the main deck raises towards aft by about 10 cm. That's very little but I followed the faired lines plan (plan des formes) of Le Fantasque & L'Audacieux as drawn 1930/31 (the historical department of the French navy once provided great scans of original plans and I am happy I downloaded a few). Possibly, you refer to Le Terrible, which had a slightly modified hull and a different shaft layout.
I skipped 3D portholes; the model is already at >100 000 triangles.
@Hunter:
About the time I started with the Le Fantasque BoJohansson started working on Le Vauquelin. I wonder if he completed the model (no furhter information available since the Sukhou forum is down).
@Jeff-Groves:
There another ship on the slipway, with the tentative pennant number J 566
