Johan de Witt — Dutch Tier IX cruiser.
An alternative project to the one for the cruiser from back in 1939—it preserved the armament comprising nine 240 mm guns and offered appropriate armor and speed but presupposed greater displacement. Thanks to her high speed, such a cruiser could avoid engaging her enemies if she so wished while also being able to stand up against several Japanese battlecruisers due to her enhanced armament and armor. However, that project was never implemented either. Further work was focused on designing a heavy cruiser carrying 283 mm main guns.
