An unofficial Austro-Hungarian super-dreadnought project（1913）

[Torsionbar]

In “Mitteilungen aus dem Gebiete des Seewesens Band.42/1914”，k. u. k. Linienschiffsleutnant Konstantin Žemplén published a paper discussing future super-dreadnoughts.
Basic characteristics:
37000t
L 220m, B 30.3m, T 8.6m
8-10*38cm/40
12*17cm/50
30*9cm/50
6-8*25mm machine gun
Belt：100+250mm
65000~70000hp
24~25kts
May be planned to carry aircraft
Unfortunately, the general plan was not fully scanned; the University of Michigan holds a copy of this book, and hopefully, the complete version will be available in the future.

Interesting! I wait till the entire section is scanned. But apparently it was a naval officer's proposal (38cm/40 cannon was never introduced, though it might formed the basis of the later 38cm/45 K19 gun)
That nose section with 5x 88mm guns seems to be quite crowded.
25mm Machine Guns? The Empire never wielded such calibre to my knowledge (both land and naval forces)
Also I find the note will carry aircraft dubious because the naval air arm was not founded until 1916 and as usual army-navy rivalization was present and the army monopolized the airforce.
