26:05 Polish plans were to have 2 cruisers, 12 destroyers and some submarine, but budget limitations stopped that. So there wasn't an idea for a coastal defense battleship. Interesting to know what size and layout of cruiser they were planning though, if they took some ideas from the Germans like the pocket battleships i.e. Deutschland class cruisers, which could take on Schleswig-Holstein

@prussianhill fascinating it would be cool if we could find the blueprints, the Polish used the British to build their destroyers and submarines so maybe it was a British 25,000 12 inch design that was the base for what they were looking at before adding their specific specifications for the polish navy.

@genericpersonx333 it was a pre dreadnought battleship with the same calibre guns although the deutschlands were slightly updated. The thing it did have was better armour on the other hand it had older range finding tech.

@genericpersonx333 however a moderfication is not as good as purpose designed. The stand off range is further than the engagement range, so it isn't particularly useful. We haven't even mentioned the fact that the Deutschland is a lot faster meaning it would get to choose the engagement. You do know that the entire point of the Deutschlands was to replace the very ship your claiming is better.
