H-class battleships were a proposed group of battleships that were planned by the German Navy in the early 1930s, prior to World War II. The H-class battleships were intended to be larger, more heavily armed, and more heavily armored than any previous German battleship.
The design for the H-class battleship called for a ship that would be approximately 277 meters long, with a displacement of around 56,000 tons. The battleship would be armed with eight 40.6 cm guns, which would be arranged in four turrets. The ship would also be equipped with 16 15 cm guns, 16 10.5 cm guns, and two triple torpedo tubes.
The armor on the H-class battleship was extremely heavy, with a maximum thickness of 450 mm. The battleship was designed to withstand attacks from enemy battleships and to be able to engage enemy ships at long ranges with its powerful guns.
Despite the impressive design of the H-class battleship, the ships were never built. The outbreak of World War II and other factors led to the cancellation of the H-class program in 1939. None of the ships in the H-class battleship group were ever laid down.
