RF Masséna
When the British Royal Navy passed the Naval Defense Act that expanded their navy in 1889, the French responded with the Statut Naval of 1890 that called for the building of a number of new, modern (predreadnought) battleships. the RF Masséna was one such ship, which even served as the flagship of the French Northern Squadron. Unfortunately, it suffered from stability and weight issues and was considered obsolete when the first world war rolled around.
She was a pain to build, so I have privately nicknamed her the "Masochista." Like my other ships, I've nuanced some of the details and it's a digital render, but I'd like to think it's still a spot on replica considering.
