Testing the historical plausibility of the German Annar design

How historical and practical is the German tier-eight ship Annar?

It appears to draw on a 1916 paper proposal, but its triple turrets, five-turret layout, machinery assumptions, and choice of 35-centimetre guns make the realized design doubtful and inefficient.

The ship combines fifteen 35-centimetre guns, imported-looking triple-turret practice, and a layout whose long afterbody pays a large structural price for one more turret. The panel sees fragments of historical inspiration but questions why Germany would pursue a new 35-centimetre weapon when a 15-inch gun program already existed. The critique demonstrates how machinery, industrial partners, turret geometry, and opportunity cost can expose a paper design's weak points.
