Also Z1 (aka Lebe the Trap) will be receiving a Swimsuit CG during this Maintenance.

現在「艦これ」運営鎮守府は、今週【8/10(木)】実施メンテ完了を以て作戦開始予定、今季の夏イベント2017：期間限定海域【西方再打通！欧州救援作戦】作戦準備に邁進しています. 本欧州救援作戦では、英仏伊の新艦娘も投入！また独艦娘「Z1」も里帰り水着mode実装予定です！

Whoa. Awsome! More Foreign Shipgirls!

So I guess the foreign submarine will be British, because Italians didn't have anything spectacular in that field, so did the French. Is the new battleship confirmed? Will we get Vittorio Veneto? Or one of Home Fleet's? There's also Richelieu-class

Needless to say, looking at all potential drops had me like: Italians and French having no interesting submarines ??!! O_o Are you out of your mind ? Did you know they had way more submarines than Germany at the start of the war ?

For the French, either the Surcouf or the Casabianca would be really good choices (my heart goes for the Casa, really cool History. You should look it up (a movie was even, made about her)). As for the Italians i agree with Vcharng.

Candidates for the BB will be either Dunkerque, Strasbourg or Richelieu for the French or the Vittorio Veneto for the Italians. But i guess the BB will be French and the SS Italian.

Either way, the second ship for the French being just a mere drop... even more if it's a BB. They still not have been the main reward of an event once, unlike every one else ! I am sorry, but my knowlegde about submarines is not stellar. I did know that they had more subs than Germans but in the end German U-Boots dominated cards of history. If what you say is true then I will of course take it all back and wait for the new submarine to shine :) Don't worry i'm not omniscient either XD Just know that both France and Italy have plenty ships that could fit well in the naval base and be useful.

But the main and most important question of all is : "Will they be cute ?" Being useful in real life and being useful as kanmusu are 2 different things. Fighting against tanaka alien technology require some serious firepower, and we know that new CV equip is shit, I can only hope her stats/plane slots aren't complete garbage.

That's why people hope for mighty Shinano to show up eventually and dominate sea battlefields with her 120 aircraft capacity and Yamato-class hull armor that will bounce off all those pesky abbyssal shells.
