Albemarle — British Tier VIII cruiser.

At the end of 1939, the British Naval Shipbuilding Office focused on the development of cruisers featuring 203 mm guns. In 1940, several designs for cruisers based on the Edinburgh-class ships were presented. The biggest of them in terms of size and combat qualities was a project for a cruiser with a displacement of 15,500 tons boasting three triple-gun turrets housing 203 mm guns. According to the plan, ships of this class were to be commissioned in 1944; however, the Admiralty was displeased with their low speed, and it was decided to abandon the project in favor of mass-constructing light cruisers.
