H-44 German Super Battleship

H-44 was the largest of the German H-series battleship design studies. It explored an extreme capital ship with enormous guns and protection requirements, far beyond the ships Germany could realistically complete during the Second World War. No H-44 battleship was laid down or operated. The study explored extreme protection and heavy armament in response to perceived future threats. Its scale exceeded practical German wartime shipbuilding resources. Such studies explored the consequences of increasing protection against underwater explosions and aerial bombs. They belonged to theoretical design work, with dimensions and armament far beyond the ships Germany actually completed or could readily support during the final war years.
