I have this German-looking battleship design from March 1999
One of the small sketches a specifications in my record book, dating from early March 1999, is a large battleship with 9-21in guns and a speed of 31 knots. This is a 115,000 ton ship with a 17in armour basis and a 7in deck. This design, which I am calling the Ger/BB/1941, is a more complete specification that includes an AA armament. This is the Springsharp report:
