Jeanne d’Arc was a French armoured cruiser, commissioned in 1903. The ship displaced around 11,300 tons and could reach about 21 knots. It was designed for long-range operations, with quite good armour protection, having a 150 mm belt. Her main armament consisted of two 194 mm guns, along with fourteen 138,6 mm guns. Additionally, the ship had several 47 mm quick-firing guns and two 450 mm torpedo tubes. She served primarily with the Northern Squadron and later in the Mediterranean, participating in fleet manoeuvres designed to test French naval strategy and the coordination of armoured cruisers with battleships. The cruiser undertook several long-distance training cruises, visiting ports in North Africa, the Caribbean, and South America, showcasing French presence abroad. In 1905, she played a key role in diplomatic visits to South American nations, demonstrating both naval power and technological advancement. She was decommissioned in 1928 and scrapped in 1934. In the game, Jeanne d’Arc is among the most powerful armoured cruisers. Although there are vessels in this class with stronger armour, heavier armament, or greater endurance, Jeanne d’Arc perfectly combines all three characteristics, making her an exceptionally dangerous ship for any opponent.
