Basically what is says on the title. Apparently both Germany and USA offered designs for what became Almirante Lattore. So do we have any details on them?

These projects date back to the beginning of the 20th century when many warship experiences and design concepts were developed. Neither proved to be viable. There is little information about these projects and in one case it is only possible to speculate on certain specifications. The first...
