Zao
Zaō — Japanese Tier X cruiser.
This heavy cruiser was designed in 1941 and called for an unusual turret layout, equipped with twelve 203 mm guns and a better propulsion system for higher speeds. However, this design was far beyond the ability of Japan's industry at that time, and the ship was never completed.
