Merger Proposal

edit

Recent scholarship by Jordan and Moulin in "French Cruisers: 1922 - 1956" indicates that the 203mm/55_Modèle_1931_gun is an invention. They indicate that the Algérie used Mle 1924 guns of the standard 50 caliber length, as on previous Treaty cruisers. Older sources (ie Campbell's Naval Weapons of WWII) are mistaken. The Mle 1931 gun evidently did not exist as an independent entity: if it did, we have apparently no reliable information on the subject. Therefore, the 203mm/55 Modèle 1931 gun page should be merged into the 203mm/50 Modèle 1924 gun page, or it should be deleted. Usernamedeleted (talk) 16:57, 30 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
