Anhalt

Anhalt — German Premium Tier VIII battleship.

In 1916, Kaiser Wilhelm II received initial drafts for a fresh battleship derived from the design principles embedded in battleship Bayern. One of the projects featured five main-caliber turrets, three of which were located at the ship's rear. To improve stability, it would have been necessary to increase the ship's length and move two turrets to the deck below. Under one of the variants, the ship's armament consisted of five triple-gun turrets housing 350 mm guns. However, their defeat in World War I prevented Germany from laying the new ship down.
