+ | B-65’s hull was planned to be 240m long with a beam of 27.2m, with a designed draft of 8.8m. The planned maximum displacement was 34,800 metric tons. The planned machinery was to consist of eight Kampon boilers, which would produce steam for four turbines for a maximum output of 160,000 shp. This would allow B-65 to reach a maximum speed of 33 knots. With 4,545 tons of fuel oil on board the calculated cruising range was 8,000 nautical miles at 18 knots. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | B-65’s main armament was planned with nine 310mm/50 guns, which were to be mounted in three triple turrets along the centerline, two forward, one aft. These guns were still undergoing development for the battlecruisers of both the B-64 and B-65 class, and could fire a 561kg heavy projectile at ranges up to 32.9km. Depending on the combat range the rate of fire could reach three rounds per minute and gun, while at higher elevations the reload times would be longer. The secondary armament was planned to consist of sixteen 100mm/65 guns, mounted in eight twin turrets with four on each side of the ship. Each gun was capable of firing a 13kg HE shell at sea targets 19.5km away, or at planes at an altitude of up to 13km. Unlike many other guns no other shells were provided. The rate of fire was usually around 15 rounds per minute and gun. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | Anti-aircraft-armament did not differ from other ships, relying on four twin mounts with 25mm guns, and two 13.2mm twin machine guns. Unlike the heavy cruisers that preceded her, no torpedo armament was envisioned. A centerline mounted catapult would allow B-65 to carry up to three seaplanes. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | B-65's armor was designed to be resilient against cruiser fire primarily, while also being strong enough to repel air attacks. The main belt was 190mm thick, and inclined at 20° to add further protection, which was supposed to protect against large caliber shells at ranges until 20km. The thickness was also used for the forward and rear bulkhead, while the deck armor and deck slopes were thinner at 125mm, which was deemed sufficient to resist an 800kg bomb and large caliber shells at ranges up to 30km. As protection against underwater explosions the torpedo defense system was designed to withstand an underwater explosion of 400kg. | |||
