IJN Battleship Design A-118

Design A-118 was the last 4 turreted battleship design of the Imperial Japanese Navy and essentially a lengthened version of the previous A-117 with much stronger funnel base protection. While the designs A-115 and 116 was the Fast Nagato designs, together with A-117, A-118 too was an even faster Nagato type battleship with 32knots or 59km/h maximum speed and like how A-116 was companion design to A-115, A-118 too was a companion design to A-117. The diference being the even numbers had only 1" or 25mm armour plates around the funnel uptakes, the uneven proposals had a very thick 6 to 9" or 152-229mm platings! This resulted in an a base increase of probably around 1.000-1.250tons of armour alone and to maintain the desired high speed the hull was lengthened, the engine power increased by 5.0000shp to 150.000shp and displacement risen by 2.300tons over A-117.
None the less we got a nice sleek good looking very fast battleship which could catch even battlecruisers and fight equally with battleships!
