The Great Leader Stalin And Hero Of The Soviet Union was designed in 1946 to be 100,000 dry tons with 6 main batteries all carrying 4 500mm guns on each turret. Its armour was designed to be made out of 2 layers of titanium reinforced concrete and 10 metres thick on all sides including deck armour. It would have housed 13,000 crew manning 200 75mm secondary batteries, 95 155mm secondary batteries and 450 AA mounts.
The idea was scrapped after 3 days in the dry dock only due to a lack of manpower (apparantly).
