Germany Battleship
When designing a new battlecruiser, the issue of artillery was of utmost importance. Different options were suggested for the armament of the new ships, such as a configuration with six 380 mm guns distributed among three turrets or an alternative with ten 305 mm guns. As a compromise, it was decided to arm the battlecruisers with eight 350 mm guns. Construction was halted due to the end of hostilities when the ship was only 15 months away from completion.
