France:
Battleship Dunkerque just after being launched, 2 October 1935, Brest

Despite being built in the dock no. 4 of La Salou, in the Arsenal de Brest, the only place large enough for such a large construction, the Dunkerque was launched without seventeen metres of her bow; those would be fitted afterwards, when the ship was placed in one of the 250 m Laninon graving docks. Her half-sister Strasbourg instead, built on the same slip of the St. Nazaire yard that had previously built the liner Normandie, would be launched all in one piece.

A similar situation would happen for the Richelieu, built on the same slip, and that had to be divided in three sections, with a bow and stern section fitted separately after the launch.
