Background

About the ship

Raider battlecruisers were supposed to carry six 380 mm guns placed in three turrets. However, some held the belief that such a caliber was excessive for a raider, given the limited quantity of shells available, and that the shells themselves were clearly excessive for destroying merchant ships. A compromise between sufficient firepower and shell power would be to use 305 mm three-gun mounts. Three such mounts would provide a firing performance comparable to that of 380 mm three double-gun mounts.
