After the start of World War II, W. Churchill ordered the development of a new heavy cruiser armed with 234 mm guns. A design for a 21,500-ton cruiser featuring three triple-gun turrets was proposed. As Britain was in need of many ships, albeit inferior ones in terms of their combat qualities, the project's implementation was postponed.
