Tanthalas

IDK if they are a thing or not, but Japan is building them... Mine is more like a "Fast Battleship" (seriously it has AC speed with BB armour and guns).  I don't think anyone else is actually building any of them (Yet).
"He either fears his fate too much,
Or his desserts are small,
Who dares not put it to the touch,
To win or lose it all!"

James Graham, 5th Earl of Montrose
1612 to 1650
Royalist General during the English Civil War

Logi

I don't think there's that much difference between the Japanese and Dutch design, they both quality as Fast Battleships.

As for such ships, I think only Japan is confirmed to be building them, Dutch was more of a it-might-be-possible as far as I know.

23.5knts makes for much better armor.
