Laudon: Tier VI European (Austria-Hungarian) Battleship

A planned class of 4 super-dreadnoughts intended to replace older pre-dreadnought battleships of the Monarch class. These ships were about as large as Austria-Hungary could construct at the time, and compared to the previous Tegetthoff class, they included a heavier main battery of 10x 350mm guns in two triple and two twin turrets. Overall, they were an improvement over the previous class while still limited by the relatively small nature of Austro-Hungarian shipbuilding infrastructure. They were intended to start construction in 1914, but were suspended and then canceled during the war. After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there was no chance of these ships being built.
