Mecklenburg

A hypothetical variant of an H-class battleship project based on the Bismarck class instead of the Scharnhorst-class battleships. A long-range raider with a diesel power plant and sixteen 305 mm guns, tasked with a mission to cut off the navigable links between England and her dominions and colonies. It would have been feasible to maintain the 305 mm gun as the primary caliber for battleships had the U.K. stuck to the scope of the proposals it presented at the London Naval Conference about limiting the main caliber of battleships.
