Habsburg Class Battleship

A fictional 1930s battleship based upon many paper designs from the period, specifically to be a contemporary to the Littorio class from the real world. She is to be the first ship in a set of hyper-detail 1930s-1940s ships, at least that is my plan, with a possible 1940s modernisation of her being a possible future project, including for example, a stern mounted aircraft catapult. She was designed to effectively be the next step in the inevitable continuation of the Italian-Austro-Hungarian naval arms race. With the construction and eventual launch of the Littorio (or its alt-history equivilant) and her sisters incentivising the Austro-Hungarian development of this, the Habsburg class. The SMS Habsburg was a class of 3 battleships of the Austro-Hungarian K.u. K Kriegsmarine. The class composed of three ships, the SMS Habsburg, the SMS Lorraine, and the SMS Austria. Built between 1931 and 1939, they were the most modern battleships used by Austria-Hungary during the second Great War. They were developed in response to the Italian Italia-class battleships (Effectively the Littorio class, but equipped with the initially planned dual 16 in turrets, as opposed to the triple 15s), and were armed with 406 mm (16. 0 in) guns and had a top speed of 28 knots (51. 8 km/h; 32. 2 mph). The class's design was considered by the Romanian Navy, but the lack of budget and industrial means rendered the ambitious plan a failure. Designed around countering the Italia class, she was equipped with an armament of 9 406 mm (16. 0 in) guns, as opposed to the 8 on the Italia, and given a comparable thickness of armour at 279. 4 mm (11. 0 in). However, the extra firepower came at the cost of speed and aircraft, with the Italia class achieving 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph) compared to the Habsburg's 28 knots. The K.u. K Kriegsmarine decided to forgo aircraft in order to equip the extra cannon as it was decided that the weight needed to support the avionic equipment was not worth the potential benefits, e
