8491 tonnes normal displacement (7540 tonnes standard)
Main battery: 4 x 15.0-cm (2 x 2)
Secondary battery: 8 x 15.0-cm
AA battery:
6 x 4.5-cm (6 x 1)
Light battery:
6 x 1.3-cm (3 x 2)
Weight of broadside: 571 kg
12 TT, 53.0 cm
Main belt, 9.0 cm; bow and stern, 3.0 cm
Upper belt, 5.0 cm
Armor deck, average 2.5 cm
Conning tower, 10.0 cm
Battery armor:
Main, 7.5 cm / secondary,
7.5 cm
AA, 2.5 cm shields
Maximum speed for 52695 shaft kw = 31.00 knots
Approximate cruising radius, 5800 nm / 15 knots
Typical complement: 442-575
Estimated cost, $3.904 million (£976,000)
Remarks:
Oil firing.
Relative extent of belt armor, 119 percent of 'typical' coverage.
Ship has slow, easy roll; a good, steady gun platform.
Good seaboat; rides out heavy weather easily.
Magazines and engineering spaces are cramped, with poor
watertight
subdivision.
Roomy upper decks; superior accommodation and working space.
Main deck secondary guns subject to being washed down
in a seaway.
