Overview
In 1932, Germany began research for a 35,000-ton battleship project. It was based on the design of World War I battlecruiser Ersatz Yorck. At this time, Britain was inclined to reduce the limit of her battleships' main caliber to 305 mm, viewing this caliber as the main one. Moreover, this caliber implied utilizing a balanced armor scheme for that displacement. However, the project to build a battleship carrying 305 mm guns was eventually abandoned after France laid down her Dunkerque battlecruiser armed with 330 mm guns.
