     Main battery:       8 x 20.3-cm (4 x 2; 2 superfiring) 
     Secondary battery: 12 x 10.0-cm (6 x 2) 

          Weight of broadside: 1095 kg 

     6 TT, 55.0 cm 

     Main belt, 12.0 cm; ends unarmored 
     Torpedo bulkhead, 3.8 cm 
     Armor deck, average 7.5 cm 
     Conning tower, 9.5 cm 

     Battery armor: 
          Main, 9.5 cm 
           

     Maximum speed for 62652 shaft kw = 30.78 knots 
          Approximate cruising radius, 8700 nm / 15 knots 

     Typical complement: 588-765 


          Remarks:

     Relative extent of belt armor,
     122 percent of 'typical' coverage. 

     Magazines and engineering spaces are cramped, with poor 
     watertight subdivision. 

     Roomy upper decks; superior accommodation and working space.
