Background

About the ship

A hypothetical development of "big cruiser" designs created by British shipbuilders in the late 1930s, with the main battery gun caliber increased to 356 mm. The ship was conceived as a response to the strengthening of the Japanese Navy. Her main purpose was to counter enemy heavy cruisers.
