Germany Cruiser
The next step in the development of German raider cruisers would be to install the latest artillery. The main caliber could utilize 210 mm guns, 128 mm dual-purpose guns, 55 mm twin-gun anti-aircraft mounts, and 30 mm quad- and twin-gun mounts. In this case, the ship's displacement could exceed 20,000 tons. An upgraded combined diesel and steam-turbine electric system, surpassing the one employed in the 1930s, could provide a blend of high speed and extended range capability.
