Description

The last drawing of the Fuso preliminary design series.
As you can logically deduct that there are a quite a few missing proposals before the approval of the final Fuso variant (Design A-64) that is because I've not found any more!
So for the time being this will be the last design drawing.
Though not exactly the last one as I will make one large picture containing these proposals and the final Fuso class.

So about this design:
Almost exactly the same as A-56 only difference is the size, mass and engine power.
A 179,8-180meter long hull, 28.000ton displacement and 40.000shp engine power.
Armament is the same 36cm cannons in 5 twin turrets.

Overview of this design:
Dimensions: 179,8x28,3x8,5m
Displacement: 28.000tons
Engine Power: 40.000shp
Maximum Speed: 43km/h (23knots)
Armour Thickness: 305mm Belt, 52mm Deck
Armaments:
5x2 356mm,
16x1 152mm,
12x1 76mm Guns,
8x1 533mm Torpedoes.

This is close to what I had in mind for the Ise and Hyuga with 10 x 15" guns. Something I read from US Navy intell expected the IJN to bbuild ships with 15" Brit guns per their alliance With the BC Haruna as a half sister with 6 x15" guns per Repulse. Would be interesting.
