Monmouth
A hypothetical design embodying the idea of a heavy cruiser with 234 mm main battery guns within a post-war reality. The project of such a ship with a displacement of over 20,000 tons and unusual artillery layout in quadruple-gun turrets was considered in the Admiralty in 1938 but did not receive further development.
