A later counterpart to Vasa's design failure

A design allegedly revised until too heavy to float is offered tentatively, but its name remains unclear.

Question

Which post-1890 battleship or battlecruiser might be compared with Vasa for poor design?

Short answer

A design allegedly revised until too heavy to float is offered tentatively, but its name remains unclear.

Notes

Earlier Victorian candidates are set aside because of the date restriction. A later design is suggested on the grounds that revisions supposedly made it too heavy to float. It remains a tentative comparison, and the name cannot be securely established from the captions.
