A "super-Treaty cruiser" type was also projected as part of Franco's naval expansion plans, with some designs proposed for the type calling for an armament of six guns; alternatively, some have speculated that the Spanish desired to purchase the two triple turrets that were available following the decision by the German Kriegsmarine to rebuild the damaged battleship with twin turrets. The war situation meant that nothing was to come of this project either.
