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 Id had the same four twin turrets spread over the length of the ship as the previous two designs, Ib and Ic, however this time they were arranged with two on the bow superfiring over each other, one amidships, and one at the stern. This had the benefit on concentrating machinery spaces, since putting magazines in between boiler rooms created heat issues in the confines of the stores rooms. The arrangement of two turrets at the front and only one amidships improved end-on fire, at least in the forward arc, and did not create the problems inherent with cross-deck firing (as in Design Ic).
