Foch vs Iron Fist is a difficult one, they're pretty evenly matched. Foch is well armed, fast, and well armored. Iron Fist is very well armed, nearly as fast, and just as well armored. Each has an advantage, Foch is newer and had better engine protection, Iron Fist is better armed and has better stability. At the beginning Foch will appear to have the advantage due to her higher radar placement, however as the range closes the Iron Fist will take her toll on the Foch with her very heavy armament. As they fight in close quarters both will list, with Foch finally capsizing due to her higher center of gravity compared to Iron Fist, though the Iron Fist will have been badly mauled in the process.

It is also of interesting note that the Foch has proven herself agains her rival the Illustrious, however she has failed miserably against the Challenger. Just as Illustrious has failed miserably against Imdomptable, with the comparison to the Denmark Straight battle being made.
