1914 Battleship design for the Baltic created by ship building engineer I.G. Bubnov (designer of Ganguts) and accepted by the Main Shipbuilding Directorate.
This design came closest to being laid down. It was planned to lay down 8 units in mid-1915. Unfortunately the design was being considered from March to July 1914 and many of the documents were lost. The remaining documents say that the design was in no way finalized and the armour scheme was supposed to be tested in October 1914, but then the war started and the test was forgotten until 1922, when it was done under the Soviets. Other problem was the TDS system, which was judged to be too thin especially in the area of bow and stern turrets. When the war started the project was abandoned.
