Background

About the ship

In the process of developing a "large cruiser" in the late 1920s and early 1930s, several cruiser projects with a displacement of 23,690 tons were created. One of these projects was a ship equipped with ten 305 mm guns in three turrets: two triple and one quadruple, with the latter being placed in a superfiring position on the bow and one of the triple-gun turrets on the stern of the ship. The cruiser is also equipped with four 138.6 mm twin-gun mounts and eight 100 mm twin-gun mounts.
