One can't help but wonder just how effective those five inch guns would have been. Nice drawing of a most unusual ship though |

Very unusual designs but also quite interesting. Kinda reminds me of the phrase in user experience design; designers aren't users, users aren't designers Also those breakwaters forward are massive! |

Actually those where not breakwaters but shields to protect the forward 6-inch guns from blast damage from the 16.1-inch guns. (don't know why there was no such thing aft tough...)

Ah I see. Rather interesting design decision in that case. |

Splendid drawings but what about stability with those short hulls compared to the superstructure? |

length has almost nothing to do with stability. |

The IJN certainly entertained some entertaining ideas, if nothing else. One wonders about an exploding 6" magazine in service. |
