Overview
Heavy cruiser, representing a hypothetical version of the P-class design with a 305 mm main battery. Guns of this caliber were considered by the German Navy command in the 1930s as promising armament for new ships. Ultimately, both the P-class cruisers and the new 305 mm guns remained on paper, as from 1939 onward, priority shifted to designing larger ships with more powerful artillery.
