German 25,000-ton ships alarm every treaty navy

How difficult would it be for Germany to lay down two 25,000-ton ships in 1936?

The yards could do it, but the ships would be impossible to disguise and would trigger major foreign design responses.

The technical construction effort is considered manageable if German yards are not occupied by other large projects. Diplomatic visibility is the more important constraint because ships of that displacement cannot be hidden as minor construction. Britain would revisit King George V assumptions, while the United States and France would reassess their own programs. A design choice in one yard therefore becomes an international arms-control signal.
