Pancernik 25.000-tonowy - projekt z 1933 r. - 29.03.2011

Drugie podejście do koncepcji pancernika 25.000-tonowego – tym razem jest to symulacja projektu autorstwa George Thurstona z 1933 r. Niestety, wydaje się, że jest to projekt mniej udany od poprzedniego – odporność jest mniejsza niż w przypadku projektu 12B, co dziwi, ponieważ zastosowany pancerz jest grubszy, a o przeciążeniu okrętu uzbrojeniem też nie można mówić, skoro pływały uzbrojone w taką samą ilość dział nawet nieco mniejsze drednoty..  Na szczęście niedostatki projektu rekompensuje dość znaczna siła ognia (w stosunku do projektu 12B).
