Hi Archelaos
Instead to draw a polishised-Mackensen, totally unrealistic
Why do not you try to draw a polish battleship as it was intended

The real facts : Polish naval programmes 1920-1942

Russian Empire ships claimed by Poland in 1919-1921
- 2 Gangut-class Battleships
- 2 Svetlana-class cruisers (both unfinished)
- 10 destroyers
- 5 submarines

1st 1920 Plan (to be started around 1922/1924 & completed by 1928)
- 2 Battleships (these are NOT the Ganguts from above) (probable french or british or US design)
- 6 Light Cruisers
- 28 Destroyers
- 45 Submarines

2nd 1920 Plan (revision of the 1st 1920 Plan)
- 1 Light Cruiser
- 4 Destroyers
- 2 Submarines

1924 Plan (revision of the 2nd 1920 Plan, to be started around 1925/1926 & completed around 1931)
- 2 Light Cruisers
- 6 Destroyers (2 finally delivered)
- 12 Submarines (3 finally delivered)

1936/37 naval programme (what the polish admirals wanted)
- 2 Battleships similar to the 1938/39 one probably meant to counter the German Scharnhorsts
- 2 Heavy cruiser (10.000 tons, 3x3 203mm, 9 x 120mm AA guns, 4x2 Torpedoes, 100 000shp engine, 200mm Armour)
- 9 Destroyers
- 18 Submarines

1937/38 naval programme (what the polish admirals wanted)
- 3 Battleships (25 000 tons, 350mm Belt-armour, 120-140.000 shp engine, 3x3 305mm guns, 4x3 or 6x2 150mm guns, 2x3 Torpedoes)
- 1 Aircraft Cruiser probably similar to the Swedish Gotland cruiser
- 12 Destroyers
- 21 Submarines

Proposed Naval Plan of 1942 (probably studied by late 1938/early spring 1939, to be started at 1942 and completed around 1946-1948)
- 1 Battleship
- 1 Heavy Cruiser (15 000 tons, 3x3 203mm & 9 x 120mm guns)
- Severals Destroyers


In my opinion, try to draw :
- a 25 000-ton Polish battleship
- a 10 000-ton Polish heavy cruiser
