They suffered from design delays, constant design changes, and an industry that was incapable of meeting the required production goals. They were planned to be the rivals of the Japanese Yamato Class in speed, armor and armorment. Constant design flaws and testing reduced each basic requirement until the Project 23 battleships had been reduced from Yamato Class to Bismark Class at least on paper.

They were laid down (in a lesser number) but never completed by the end of WW2 and the effort was eventually scrapped.
