BB-72-2 Design Study
This is a small battleship design to mount 4 X 2 18"/47 Mark A ala Richelieu with heavy secondary battery (15 X 2 5"/54 Mark 16). This ship is a 45,000 tonner study to show a what if option: what if there are no treaty limit on gun caliber (or it was given up because of the Yamatos) but the displacement is set. Speed is 27 knots, otherwise same as BB-72-3.
This one is not a real design, just my fictional one.
