The Blohm & Voss submission receives less detail than the Germaniawerft proposal, but it appears even more battlecruiser-like. Its silhouette is the only one of the three designs shown with a single funnel. The expected power would ordinarily suggest two funnels, as on the comparable Almirante Latorre. The comparison shows how machinery demands and external layout could distinguish proposals whose surviving specifications are otherwise uneven.
