In 1938 alterations were started delaying completion unto late 1940. These ships would be like IOTL Scharnhorst class with an Atlantic bow an 10 meters long. 3 turrets with two 38 cm SK C/34 guns. Six 53.3 cm torpedo tubes would also be fitted on the deck. In early 1942 the Scharnhorst encounters the HMS Renown while intercepting a convoy. Who would prevail in this encounter? Both ships are armed with 15” guns.
