Battle Cruisers of the Mark

[Ithekro]

Laid down is to compliment the Arcadia-class Battleships the Snowmane is a faster, lighter armored battleship with 12 inch guns in triple turrets like the Arcadia, but with the superimposed design of the Freawines.  The Snowmane-class will be called a Battle Cruiser and will have over 24 knot speeds with turbine powered engines.  Snowmane is not designed for oil boilers but will stay with coal power to be reliable in the years to come.  The next class will have oil fired boilers.  The Snowmane is expected to be able to outfight anything in the sea short of an extremely modern battleship, and be able to outrun any of them.

Battle Cruisers are named after famous horses.  (The Arcadia's were considered Battle Cruisers for a brief time, which is why they have horse names instead of the names of Kings of Rohan.)

(Edit: fixed shell weight and added 10% oil fired to adjust weight)

[Ithekro]

A successor to the Snowmane-class Battlecruisers, this class should be even more powerful and able to counter any forseen enemy (or friendly) warships short of the new Super-Dreadnought being laid down by the various powers.  And from these ships, the Battlecruisers can run away.

(Note: All three of these ships received a refit on the stocks to include the recently completed fire control systems in late 1911, save Hasufel, which was laid down with the technology in mind.)

All Battlecruisers of the Mark are named after famous horses.
