Aragón — Spain · Tier IX · Cruiser

Project 138 was part of the Spanish effort to design a new class of heavy cruisers following the end of the Spanish Civil War. This project had three variants that mostly differed in their main armament. The 138B variant was intended to carry 305 mm Vickers guns taken from the older España-class dreadnoughts and later used in shore batteries. Had the ship been built, her design could have been influenced by Italian naval practices due to the close ties between Italy and Francoist Spain.
