Tier VII Battleship

United Kingdom

Rooke

Battlecruiser designs K2 and K3, presented in 1920, were deemed unsuitable due to their enormous dimensions. Later, the designers presented Project J3—a smaller version of the ship armed with nine 381 mm guns housed in three turrets. Her displacement had been reduced by 10,000 tons. Such a ship could use any dock suitable for Hood and pass through the Suez and Panama Canals.
