Arromanches and Le Intrepide in Azur Lane's French fleet

Arromanches supplies a historical carrier for the Iris faction, while Le Intrepide adds another Le Hardi-class destroyer.

Question

How well do Arromanches and the Le Hardi-class destroyer Le Intrepide fit Azur Lane?

Short answer

Arromanches is a surprising historical carrier choice, while Le Intrepide is less distinctive because she is another Le Hardi-class destroyer.

Notes

Arromanches is an unexpected choice because the discussion identifies her with the postwar French service of a Colossus-class carrier. She gives the game's Iris faction a carrier with a historical basis. The answer also briefly considers a battlecruiser concept that had seemed more likely to appear through a World of Warships collaboration than a normal event, without developing its design history. Le Intrepide is judged less distinctive because she is another Le Hardi-class destroyer. The comments separate the game's choice of characters from the classes and designs on which they draw.
