== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French battleship {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "La Royale"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}

''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.''

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

== Armament ==
{{Specs-Fleet-Armaments}}
=== Primary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Primary}}

{{main|340 mm/45 model 1912 (340 mm)}}

''Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: <code><nowiki>{{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}</nowiki></code>. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''

{{:340 mm/45 model 1912 (340 mm)/Ammunition|340 mm OEA Mle 1926 HE, 340 mm OPF Mle 1912 APC, 340 mm OPF Mle 1921 APCBC}}

=== Secondary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Secondary}}

{{main|138.6 mm/55 model 1910 (138.6 mm)}}

''Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control <code>Select secondary weapon</code>. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.''

{{:138.6 mm/55 model 1910 (138.6 mm)/Ammunition|138.6 mm OEA Mle 1919 HE, 138.6 mm OPF Mle 1910 SAPBC, 138.6 mm OPF Mle 1921 SAP}}

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-AA}}

{{main|75 mm/50 model 1922 (75 mm)|Bofors L/60 Mark 3 (40 mm)|20 mm/70 Oerlikon Mk.II (20 mm)}}

''An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control <code>Select anti-aircraft weapons</code>. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

 <!-- ''In the first part of the description, cover the history of the ship's creation and military application. In the second part, tell the reader about using this ship in the game.

-'''Lorraine''' was a [[Bretagne (Family)|Bretagne-class]] battleship of the French fleet launched in 1913, named after the French region of Lorraine. She was considered, like sisterships, a super-dreadnought, but only thanks to the caliber of her guns. Due to the constraints of the French shipyards her length and displacement remained almost unchanged compared to the predecessors of the [[Courbet (Family)|Courbet class]].

-She spent most of her service in the Mediterranean. In World War I she was stationed in the port of Corfu succesfully preventing the Austro-Hungarian fleet from leaving the Adriatic Sea without firing the shot. In the 1920s and 1930s she underwent a number of refits, one of which removed her central battery, replacing it with additional anti-air armament. With the outbreak of World War II she carried a shipment of French gold to Bermuda, then returned back to the Mediterranean. With the French surrender she was interned by the British in the port of Alexandria. By the end of 1942, she was transferred to the Free French Navy, which participated in the Allied invasion of Provence and the siege of La Rochelle. After the war he was used as a stationary gunnery training ship, then barracks ship, and finally was sold to the shipbreaking company in 1954.
