Product Description
In 1915 the KuK Marine (Kaiserliche und Konigliche Kriesgmarine), the Austro-Hungarian Navy, decided to start working on a new series of designs to produce a battle cruiser (which the nation lacked so far), taking on board the lessons and impressions of the battle of the Falklands of the previous year, and the escape of SMS Goeben from the pursuing British into the Mediterranean. The new ship designs were to be part of the post-war fleet, as every side was convinced the Great War would not last very long.
By late 1915 - early 1916, variants of Design I were on the drawing board. Common elements were to be: a standard displacement of 30.000 tons (34.000 full load), maximum speed of 30 kn, 225 mm main belt, and an armament of 35 cm guns in different configurations (the same mounted on the Ersatz Monarch class).
Design Ia was to have three triple turrets in an A-P-Y layout, one at the bow, one amidships and one at the stern. The spacing of armament was a design choice following the thinking that if a turret was knocked out, the others were far apart enough that would not be affected, while two turrets close together (as is the case with, for example, superfiring) could be potentially knocked out by a single hit. Ia was the only variant of Design I to feature triple turrets, possibly because they were a new technology and esponentially more complicated than singles of twins (plus the larger calibre as opposed to the 30.5 cm of the Tegetthoff class did not help).
