Hi everyone, today i am posting some preliminary designs for the Chikuma class and the Atago class.
the first design proposed in 1929, this was to be battleship that carried 8 410mm guns and 12 155mm guns and with a armour belt thickness 13.5 inches, this came to displacement of 41,000 tons, well outside of the treaty limits.

in 1930 a revised design proposed, this design replaced the 8 410mm guns for 12 356mm guns and the 12 155mm with 8 127mm guns,
however the displacement still came to 37,000 tons, still outside the treaty limits.
