It’s funny that the two WW2 Great Powers who seriously considered “super-battleships”, Japan and Germany, were in no position economically to actually produce the things.

There were many Japanese battleships, for instance the Nagato, that were way over “treaty” limits. At Bikini they awed USN personnel. The Bismarck itself would surely have changed, at least for a time, the course of the war in the Atlantic.
