Instead of SH/GN, BS/TP and all five Hipper Class (Hipper, Bluecher, Prinz Eugen, Lützow and Seydlitz/90% ready 1941) plus Graf Zeppelin,
6 x 35-36000ts general purpose german BB (more near SH/GN as BS/TP) plus one more Deutschland Class.
SH/GN were 31550ts standard deplacement at their introduction.
My plan is a BB with 3 x 2 x 40,6cm SK 34, mixed power unit ( 8x 12 MZ12 42/58 on the outer propeller, plus 8 x Wagner boilers with 2 x turbines to the inline propeller = 4x propeller)
To my calculations a 245m, 33m, 10m, vessel, with 320mm outline belt, 105mm slopes, 145mm upper belt, 50mm weather deck and 80mm main deck (over magazine 100 + 80mm), spaced array armour, 73000 WPS Diesel + 100000 WPS oil fired gear turbine, would be at 365000-37000ts.
This is to my opinion the optimal german BB since 1935 and should be built 6 times instead of all other units.
And they should go to missions only as SISTERS, just like the Twins! This is my personal six gunner program!
Something like 6 x very tough german Renowns on steroids!
