Another design problem confronting the German naval constructors concerned the number of engine rooms needed to propel these ships at thirty knots. The decision was made to increase the standard displacement from 20,300 to 26,500 tons to accommodate the third triple turret. The four-shaft propulsion plants used in the German battle cruisers of World War I could not be accommodated in a 26,500-ton ship, so a three-shaft scheme, which would save a considerable amount of displacement and reduce the size of the propulsion plant, was used. 沙恩 The four-shaft plant considered early in the design process would have resulted in a much larger and heavier battleship. The triple-screw arrangement the German naval constructors chose resulted in an approximate one-third loss of maneuverability when compared to a quadruple-screw ship of the same size. However, a battleship with quadruple shafts would have required an additional engine room at a cost of 2,000 more tons of standard displacement. 俾斯麦
