Overview
After the construction of ships under the design of the cruiser with a displacement of 23,333 tons was rejected, further development followed the path of increasing the tonnage. The final design included eight 330 mm guns in quadruple-gun turrets and a displacement of 26,500 tons. The cruiser was also supposed to receive three quadruple-gun and two twin-gun mounts with dual-purpose 130 mm guns.
