The H class was a series of battleship designs to fulfill the requirements of Plan Z in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The first variation, H-39," called for six ships to be built, essentially as enlarged Bismarck-class battleships with 40.6 cm (16.0 in) guns. The "H-41" design improved the "H-39" ship with still larger main guns, with eight 42 cm (17 in) weapons. Two subsequent plans, "H-42" and "H-43", increased the main battery yet again, with 48 cm (19 in) pieces, and the enormous "H-45" design ultimately resulted with 80 cm (31 in) guns. The ships ranged in size from the "H-39", which was 277.8 m (911 ft 5 in) long on a displacement of 56,444 t (55,553 LT 62,219 ST), to the "H-45", at 609.6 m (2,000 ft 0 in) on a displacement of 627,843 t (617,927 LT 692,078 ST). Most of the designs had a top speed in excess of 30 knots (56 km/h)."
