RICHELLLLIEEUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is indeed one of the primary possible candidates, as the interview actually stated a "new type" (新銳) BB.

The only ship to be dubbed "新銳" so far is the Agano-class CL(seen in Agano's introduction line), and Agano was laid down in 1940. Richelieu was laid down in 1935, and Dunkerque in 1932, so it would be hard to imagine, at this point, anything older than Dunkerque being dubbed "新銳". Yeah maybe but they talk new BB type Dunkerque is not really a BB is a Battle cruiser so it's possible it's Dunkerque but i hope is Richelieu Japan abolished the classification of Battlecruisers after Kongo-class received their first modernization (which caused their speed to drop, and after they regained their speed later, the classificaiton was not resurrected), so they will refer to Dunkerque, Hood, Alaska, and the like as battleships anyway.
