German Armoured Cruiser: Ger/CA/1906

The date is just guesswork, but the ship otherwise matches that period, except for triple turrets. This is a ship of 550ft x 80ft x 26ft with 6-12in/45 BLR and 8-6in QF guns. The 6in guns are in barbettes. The 12in guns are in two triple turrets, one forward and one aft. The armour basis is 6in with a 3in deck. The thick deck armour caused the displacement to be greater than planned: 18,100 tons normal rather than 16,860 tons. The speed is 25 knots, so it is almost a battlecruiser. This is the Springsharp report:
